Mark the date – Export Awards 2008 date announced

Food from Britain (FFB) is pleased to announce that the 2008 Food from Britain Export Awards and Network Forum will take place on 10 December 2008 at the Landmark London Hotel.

Delegates at the 2007 Export Awards and Network Forum heard from Carrefour Group Chairman José Luis Duran, as the retailer was awarded FFB’s prestigious ‘International Retailer of the Year’ Award. The three Carrefour buyers in attendance then met with pre-selected delegates for one-to-one meetings.

The Network Forum and Export Awards is a full day event which offers the opportunity to meet with FFB’s international market experts, network with fellow exporters and hear the winners of the FFB Export Awards announced over a superb British lunch.

 

Here’s what the delegates at the 2007 event said:

 

“Thank you for the amazing Export Awards Lunch. The presentations were excellent and I felt truly privileged to learn so much about the food market from the captains of industry.   Thank you for giving us all the opportunity to meet people with whom we would normally find it impossible to connect.”

 

“I thought the Carrefour presentation was very interesting and the head honcho was using all the up to date words e.g. engagement!”

 

“Congratulations to the team on a very well managed event and a very enjoyable day”

 

“I thought [the Export Awards and Network Forum] was great. Great opportunity to meet Carrefour, great to see everyone and great lunch.”

“Congratulations on the organisation for the event. It went really well and the food was indeed super.”

 

 “Thanks for an awesome day yesterday. A lot of fun was had as always.”

 

Booking forms for the 2008 event will be available later this year.
