The Food and Drink sector depends on sustained financial and business support. This Business Briefing gives us the opportunity to discuss the climate in which food and drink businesses operate, the pressures you are up against and the support you need to succeed.
This annual briefing gets all sorts of people around the table to discuss the future of the Food and Drink sector in the New Forest – from producers to public authorities, individuals to businesses – working together in partnership.
Our discussion is led by Frederik Kampman - Founder at Spirited Union Botanical Rum, Lowlander Botanical Beers - the second-largest independent craft beer brand in the Netherlands - and Grist Studio - his venture studio dedicated to Food & Beverage, Hospitality and Wellbeing. Frederik focuses on the critical structural work required to bridge creative concepts with operational reality, ensuring distinctive brands achieve scale.
Together, we will celebrate the New Forest’s food and drink successes, discuss our vision for local food and drink and, of course, spend time together, networking and learning from each other!
This event is open to all businesses in the New Forest. You are all welcome!
