Meet the Technical Team
Our Site Operators, The Food & Drink Forum and its team of technical experts have been providing industry-leading support to food and drink businesses since 1998.
We know that setting up and operating a food and drink business can be difficult at times due to the growing number of regulations in the industry.
It may be that you don’t have the technical expertise in-house, or that you simply don’t have the time to manage compliance. You may want to expand your current offering but don’t know where to start.
Whatever your business needs, let the Food & Drink Forum technical team take the stress out of your food technical operations, freeing up your time to achieve your business goals.
