Whether it’s cutting-edge foodservice solutions, sustainably sourced ingredients, or globally inspired flavours, BFFF members continue to drive excellence in the industry.

The BFFF’s Head of Technical Denise Rion will also be moderating a panel discussion on the show’s Exporters Hub on ‘Navigating EU Trade: Key Insights for Importers and Exporters in a Post-Brexit World’.

She comments: I’m incredibly pleased to be speaking at this year’s IFE, where I’ll be joining colleagues in providing key insights for importers and exporters in this ‘post-Brexit world’. With so many changes afoot, it’s crucial that UK businesses stay ahead of the curve.

“Ultimately, I hope the session will help in addressing the many challenges we face as well as offering invaluable insight in navigating the complexities of trading with the EU and beyond.  It certainly promises to be a highly informative session, and I’m excited to contribute to such an important conversation.
