The commercial section of the French embassy in London is organising a free one-day event, Focus on Retail Distribution, to bring together French fresh produce exporters and UK category managers in a bid to improve the French presence on the UK market.

“We are organising this event because there is a large demand in France for up-to-date information on the British retail situation and evolution and our aim is to inform French exporters of the reality of the UK market,” said commercial attaché Laurène Bourges.

“Many efforts have been made to continue working in the UK, but French producers are willing to listen and to keep adapting while developing strategies to maintain and improve their presence in the British retail distribution network. Now is the chance for the UK sector to promote their companies and inform French exporters of their needs.”

The programme features plenty of networking breaks as well as panel discussions and speakers from Mack Multiples, Davis Louth, Huntapac, Pom’Alliance and more.

Participation at the October 13 event is free of charge and open to just 40 delegates so early booking is advised. Contact amelie.galatry@missioneco.org
