According to foodservice data analysis specialist, Horizons, the sector is rapidly changing. Consumers’ expectations are higher, meals are increasingly being eaten out of home, and awareness of the variety of foods available is being broadened by travel and social media.
The Horizons Key Club and Study Tour will be led by MD Peter Backman, whose in-depth knowledge of the foodservice industry has been gleaned from over 30 years’ experience in the sector. Taking place on 11th September in London, the event is set to provide an informative and relevant forum for professionals in the foodservice industry.
The half-day learning workshop will cover the gamut of the sector, including:
“¢ Foodservice – why it is important
“¢ The customer – the key to it all
“¢ Unpacking the foodservice sector – its structure and statistics
“¢ Distribution – who does what
“¢ Supplies and suppliers – markets and specialisations
“¢ The trends – what has happened, what is happening, what will happen, and why
“¢ The key players – who they are, and why they are important
“¢ Differences between UK, European and US markets
“¢ Challenges – what are the main challenges facing foodservice organisations, and what strategy can be employed to overcome them?
To illustrate some of the learnings from the morning Key Club, Horizons will also lead delegates on a Study Tour of the local area to highlight the variety of different food concepts on offer in the vicinity.
Numbers are strictly limited, so places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. For further information, and to book a place, readers should visit the Horizons website.
