Delicious Products, Exquisite Cheeses & Networking – What an incredible event
What a wonderful way to enjoy a cold winter’s night. Last night saw 40 guests gather online to chat about all things cheese, food, drink and the food industry.
Having taken our event online it is so wonderful in the build up to the evening see the post about the boxes of goodies that are sent. The Boxes have taken our famous Grub Club bags to a whole new level.
Awards season is upon us
Well the award entering season is upon us, so we wanted to share a few that we thought you might like to consider entering.
We all know how important it is to get recognition and endorsements for your products, business and your team. You work incredibly hard making your delicious products so shout about them.
See What is Inside a Grub Club’s Event Box
The Grub Club goodie bags have been legendary for years. Packed full of great products, they have enabled sponsors and attendees to continue sharing their products and sales information even after the evening’s event is over. Well, goodie bags just got an upgrade! Our Event Boxes are now what everyone is talking about.
An exciting collaboration for our next event
As Event Manager on Speciality & Fine Food Fair I am proud that over the last year we have evolved in creative ways to add value to the fine food community and help support them during the pandemic. In addition to our Fair, which is planned again for 6-7 September this year, we are constantly working with the industry to create year-round initiatives and opportunities to help artisan producers and independent retailers move their businesses forward.

FOOD BUSINESSES AND BREXIT: ADDRESSES FOR EXPORTS TO THE EU
The Q&A below is about Food Business Operator addresses on pre-packed foods exported into the EU. It is aimed at FBOs in Great Britain and covers the position if, at the end of the transition period:
(a) the UK is no longer part of the single market (e.g. as a member of the European Free Trade Association); and
(b) there are no provisions in any UK/EU trade deal which relax the rules on pre-packed food labelling which would normally apply to a third country importing into the EU.
The withdrawal deal envisages a transition period lasting until 31 December 2020; this can be extended by up to two years by agreement, with a decision having to be taken by 1 July 2020. During the transition period, and any extension, the UK will continue to operate as if it were a member state for trading purposes.
