Top executives from across the Food & Beverage industry gathered for the Food Strategy Forum, to debate the critical challenges facing their businesses.  With unprecedented food and operating cost pressures, weakening consumer demand and intensifying levels of competition, the timeliness of the summit, held in London's Portman Square, was prescient. 

 

Attendees gained valuable business advice from an impressive line-up of industry innovators, including: Luke Johnston, leading entrepreneur, Chairman of Channel Four and CEO Riskcapitalpartners; Gerry Ford, Chairman and CEO of Caffè Nero; Jamie Mitchell, Innocent UK Managing Director; Mark Hudson, Retail and Consumer Team Leader, PricewaterhouseCoopers; and Jeffrey Young, Managing Director of Allegra Strategies. 

 

The lively discussion covered a number of business concerns, with five key corporate imperatives emerging: embrace risk, stay close to the customer, continually search for ways to do things better, avoid brand de-valuation and commit to more sustainable products and working practices.           

 

Allegra Strategies wishes to express its gratitude to all the senior executives who supported the Speaker Event and is thrilled with the positive feedback!
