There are still two weeks to take advantage of the BOGOF ticket offer for this year’s Re:fresh Conference, on 13 May.

For just £259, you and a colleague can participate in the UK industry’s leading annual conference and networking event at the InterContinental London Park Lane.

Go to www.refresh.eu for full details and the conference programme. Re:fresh organisers FPJ and the Fresh Produce Consortium have gathered a group of analysts to tackle the thorny issues of the moment and give delegates invaluable insight into the fresh produce industry and the wider world of business, politics and consumers.

The afternoon of this year’s Re:fresh Conference hosts a session entitled Buy Locally, Eat Globally, which will bring some much-needed balance to the buy-British debate that continues to confuse consumers and skew trade thinking.

Event organiser Tommy Leighton, of Lockwood Media, said: “No one would claim the buy-British debate is new. If you were to go back 90 years in the FPJ annals, you’d find arguments raging about the logic of bringing produce in from overseas, and many of the same themes echo in the 21st century. Gregg Wallace caused a stir at last year’s conference with his outspoken personal perspective on the subject, but as a whole the industry continues to struggle collectively to grasp the nettle with its approach to either the consumer or the media.”

The Re:fresh Conference and Awards are sponsored by Prophet and Florette.
