Do you have a young leader who would benefit from being part of the BFFF Young Leaders Forum?
The BFFF Young Leaders Forum was launched at the BFFF Business Conference in March 2020. The aim of the forum is to bring young, developing individuals together to investigate initiatives to help support and promote the frozen food industry. The forum also gives the members the opportunity to develop through talks from industry experts, site visits, exposure to company operations and interaction with other BFFF members.
In 2026/2027, YLF members will be visiting Speciality Breads, Campden BRI, Space Maker Inc and ifp-labs, with further visits and online sessions being planned.
Current member and former chair, Lewis Wantling, said of the forum:
Being part of the YLF is a brilliant opportunity to connect across the frozen food sector, working together and learning from other young leaders in a wide range of sectors & positions. Being part of the YLF since the very beginning has been a rewarding experience. Gaining exposure to the different categories in the frozen food sector with each visit providing insights and building a greater understanding of the wider industry. Over the course of the visits, I’ve seen first-hand the passion businesses have for quality frozen produce, innovation and driving added value.
To become a BFFF Young Leader:
- You should ideally be aged between 18 and 35
- You must work for a BFFF member company
