Views from our VIPs

Just a short note to say how much I enjoyed the Inspiring Nutrition event. I thought it was incredibly well organised, with some very interesting expert speakers and panellists.
Nutritional Therapist and Founder |  WellWellWell Nutrition
Tastes of Better is a great event to keep on track with the latest and future of the food industry. Friendly and relaxing format for quality networking.
Head of Ingredients |  Pladis
I found Tastes of Better really insightful and it brought the whole supply and manufacturer piece together. But also, it was very informative and on trend and what we need to be thinking about going forward. It was a really good detailed insight
Head of Development |  Fisbuy Food Group
Really insightful talks and a lovely group of attendees whom I got to know throughout the day. The sessions were great and I loved seeing different topics being discussed by companies from a variety of areas within the industry
NPD Manager |  Symprove
What a fantastic day - I have to say, this was one of the best food events of this type I have attended. The balance was right between technical information, food sampling, interesting debates and networking.
Head of Food Innovation |  Costa Coffee
I thoroughly enjoyed attending the Tastes of Better event. It was great to step away from the day-to-day and think about the bigger picture, trends impacting our category, emerging opportunities and interact with some great food ingredient businesses
Head of Food Service |  Bells of Lazonby
