Bread & Jam offers 10 discounted tickets for KTN subscribers
The UK’s first food founders’ festival will offer solutions to the five biggest problems faced by food and drink SMEs.
Industry experts Bread & Jam surveyed* UK food and drink companies to identify and provide solutions to the most common entry and growth barriers within the marketplace. The top five issues raised were:
- Money – funding your business and cash flow
- Successful crowdfunding – to launch or grow your business
- Retail – contacting buyers and getting your products to market
- E-commerce – reaching millions of customers with one click
- Exporting – cashing in on ‘brand British’
To help independent producers overcome these hurdles at every stage of their business journey, founders Tara Mei and Jason Gibb return with Bread & Jam, now in its second year.
“Bread & Jam is THE event to go to if you want a crash course on how to navigate the world of FMCG from the industry’s best people” according to the founder of Pip & Nut, Pippa Murray.
Bread & Jam 2017 will bring together hundreds of food founders, retailers, media and industry leaders in a ground-breaking programme of hands-on workshops, panel discussions, meet-the-buyer sessions, new producer awards and inspirational keynotes.
