Fun for Foodies
Grub Club Cambridge is run by Vhari Russell and Cat New of The Food Marketing Expert. By organising regular events – the pair aims to bring together producers, retailers, buyers and their businesses – for interesting conversation, accompanied by delicious food and drink. The idea behind this foodie event is to encourage like-minded individuals in the industry to talk about the market, who’s doing what, share advice and build relationships in a fun and relaxed environment.

“I am a passionate foodie who has worked in the industry for too many years to count. Over the years I have created ranges of Chocolates for Tesco Finest, worked on brands such as Disney, Country Living across confectionery, snacks, jams, and cereal. I started the Food Marketing Expert 5½ years ago and now work with a wonderful array of food businesses, all creating delicious treats. So as you can see my life is very foodie. With three daughters and a husband who loves to cook; food is a big part of our family and we all love trying delicious new ingredients. I am hugely passionate about buying local and supporting the wonderful producers we have in our region”
