F&D Heroes Issue 1

Our partners
Tthe Food & Drink Heroes will recognise and champion the entrepreneurs who
are running the businesses that are taking the nation’s tastebuds by storm.
We’d like to thank the following organisations that have made this celebration
of food & drink entrepreneurs possible:
Bread & Jam
Bread & Jam came about through the shared vision of two food founders,
passionate about shaking up the way the food and drink industry works.
Every year, 16,000 food and drink brands emerge into the UK market
and yet, 90% of them don’t make it past their first year of trading. Bread
& Jam is a celebration of the food and drink industry’s entrepreneurial
spirit. There are many reasons for a food business to cease trading but
the absence of opportunity, information and industry support should no
longer be one of them.
Home Grown
The richness of the club is in its people. Home Grown is a collective of
proven entrepreneurs and investors, from all sectors, creeds, geographies
and industries. It’s a reciprocal circle of support and learning empowered
by an engine room of events that spark thoughts and ideas. Their aim is
to generate dialogue that leads to better business for all.
Grenade
Founded in 2009, the Grenade® mission was simple; to create a range of
products that people would remember, and be inspired to get the most
out of life. Now, the brand are set to join the Food & Drink Heroes Awards
as a national partner for the 2020 programme which acknowledges the
hard work and inspiring stories of food & drink entrepreneurs across the
United Kingdom.
Visionary Food Solutions
Visionary Group Ltd is run by a team that thrives on creating and developing
new Brands and provides business development support to both
the Food & Drink & FMCG markets through Visionary Food Solutions &
Visionary Business Builders. We are also actively looking for strategic
investment partnerships and opportunities to develop brands who want
to scale and exit with a 5 year timescale.
