Fresh produce and other food industry leaders will gather at Appetite for Business, an east of England strategic forum featuring prominent speakers including FPJ editor Michael Barker.

The event will be held at the Bedford Lodge Hotel, Newmarket on 6 October and is free to attend.

Appetite for Business provides an opportunity not only to hear expert opinion, but to participate in a peer-to-peer exchange of views. Tim Cooper Jones, non-executive director of QV Foods and the William Jackson Food Group, will chair the event, and draw on his extensive commercial experience which includes roles at Cadbury and Unilever.

Other speakers include Clive Black of Shore Capital and Steve West, finance director of grower-packer The Shropshire Group. The event is sponsored by integrated agency Ware Anthony Rust, Deloitte and Redfox Executive Selection.
