Welcome
Pizza toppings take centre stage in our first issue of 2024, with a comprehensive 15-page special. Danish Crown’s sustainability drive, Estom’s Properoni and key trade relationships for Dawn Farms are just a few of the many topics covered. While heroes in the cheese & dairy sector also go under the microscope.
There’s a Food, Drink & Hospitality Week preview, with thousands of industry professionals preparing to descend on ExCel London from 25-27 March – plus all the usual regulars, including a bumper 17-page news section.
A sense of optimism does appear to be prevalent in hospitality, as we all try and bounce back from recent challenges. Long may that continue!
Work is already beginning in earnest on Issue 221 (see p52) – so get in touch if you’d like to be part of it.
Cheers!
