You work hard to produce great food and drink. Finding time to explore new markets alongside daily orders and production can be difficult.

Could your next customer be elsewhere in the UK, or overseas? Could you supply them profitably?

Join us this November for a one-off introductory workshop for food and drink producers across Cumbria and Lancashire.

Explore opportunities across the UK and overseas, with practical insights you can use straight away and a preview of the full Food & Drink Growth Collective programme.

Discover how the full programme will help you choose markets, approach buyers and distributors, assess export requirements and build profitable sales.

See how the programme helps you prepare production, pricing and cash flow for growth.

With Thomas Jardine & Co and Chamber expertise, step back, learn from other producers and focus on your priorities.

• A clearer view of your readiness for UK growth and exporting.
• One priority customer group, sales channel or overseas market to explore.
• A practical action plan for the next 30 days.

The workshop introduces two pathways in the full programme: Grow Across the UK and Grow Through Exporting. Understand what each offers and which fits your ambitions.

Leave with a clearer next step and an understanding of how the full programme could help you achieve it.
