Networking
I’m incredibly passionate about our local F&B scene and believe that Liverpool will be the incubator for a number of national brands in years to come. I started Liverpool Food Network in 2018 because I wanted to help open doors for new food businesses who were struggling to make the right connections within the city by offering a friendly platform for those seeking help or advice. I’m also one of the founders of The Bread and Butter Collective which was established in 2019 as a network for hospitality and events businesses in the city.
Whether it’s gaining access to potential customers, finding the right packaging, contacting a photographer or even choosing the best real estate location, I want local businesses to be able to share best practice, make new contacts and grow their sales by providing platforms for interaction.
All of my clients are connected through Liverpool Food Network and I actively encourage them to engage with each other both online and in person. Connecting with someone who has been on the same journey as you can be reassuring, but it can also help you to avoid some of the common mistakes businesses make when starting out.
