The 100 specially-invited attendees will be valued leaders in the public sector catering industry who are crucial to the Alliance’s collective mission: ‘Working Together to Feed a Healthy Nation’. The event is happening on Tuesday, November 19th at the Leonardo Hinckley Island Hotel in Leicestershire.
The Forum will widen the debate by offering a packed day-long chance to learn from inspiring presentations, engage with interactive debates and mix with a full range of stakeholders.
Attendees will include the heads of national catering organisations, senior leaders of the major contract catering companies, major sustainability groups, and charities. Other significant influencers, as well as high-profile food and equipment suppliers, will also be part of the event.
The aim is to bring together the industry at a single venue, to discuss face-to-face issues of common concern, such as food-price inflation, recruitment and retention, training, sustainability, food and plastic waste and the health impacts of growing obesity in the UK.
