Enterprise4All

Enterprise4all offer a free business support programme for North West Food and Drink manufacturers. Think Food and Drink - A must for any food and drink business looking to move into indigenous or ethnic markets and increase their market share.

The UK ethnic food market is worth in excess of £1.38 billion and many manufacturers are unwittingly missing out on substantial opportunities. For example, the term ‘halal’ is often perceived to apply only to meat products – a misapprehension that may be causing manufacturers to overlook a market worth well in excess of £900 million in the UK alone - and £100 billion worldwide. Though they may not know it, many North West manufacturers are almost certainly already selling products that would be accepted as halal: fruit juices, dairy products, pies, sandwiches, hot and cold beverages, confectionery, snack foods – the list is almost endless. With improved systems, awareness and labelling, they could easily enter a whole new business arena.
