Spotlighting Food & Drink Manufacturing in Leicester and Leicestershire

Leicestershire is well known for food and drink manufacturing, being home to the worlds largest crisp factory, and as the birthplace of the infamous Melton Mowbray pork pie.

This event, in conjunction with the East Midlands Chamber, aims to celebrate Leicester and Leicestershire’s food and drink manufacturers. Alongside them, a panel of experts will delve into the challenges and opportunities within the sector, offering valuable advice and sharing their experiences. It's a chance to connect, learn, and be inspired.

Joining the event as a speaker, Peter Gardner, Director of Cocoa Amore, will be sharing his inspiring story of becoming a self taught chocolatier. Peter has created his own brand and successful City business, focused on sustainability and customer experience.

Chris Corkan, who is newly appointed to the Leicestershire Business Board and regional Director of Manufacturing for Make UK, will be on the panel discussion at the event. Further speakers and panel members will be confirmed.

Light refreshments will be provided. The event is free to LBV members and non-members can book at a cost of £15 (+ VAT and Eventbrite fee), per person.

We have limited spaces for this event so please book early to avoid disappointment.
