Food & Drink Federation survey - Sustainable Growth for the UK Food and Drink Sector.

FDF is currently working with Grant Thornton to conduct a study on 'Sustainable Growth for the UK Food and Drink Manufacturing Sector' which will be published in December 2011.

The aim of the study is to:

• show the growth potential of the UK Food and Drink Manufacturing (FDM) industry and therefore, the contribution it could make to the UK economic recovery
• gather real life examples of issues/barriers the UK FDM industry is confronted with
• identify the Government support needed in order to remove these barriers and achieve future growth objectives
• use the report as a tool to boost support and steer industry growth, whilst assisting food and drink manufacturers with the necessary support required for growth

As part of the study, FDF are undertaking a confidential online survey to capture the views of the senior leaders of industry given their strategic insight and overview of the issues facing your business and the industry as a whole.

FDF would very much appreciate your input and would be very grateful if you could take 10-15 minutes of your time to complete the survey. 

We hope you would welcome the opportunity to voice your opinions on the issues your companies are facing. Please note that all answers will remain confidential. Responses will be aggregated and the analysis will be made at an industry level therefore names and companies will not be quoted.

The deadline for responses to the survey is Friday 07 October 2011.  Please see details below on how to access the survey and feel free to contact Caroline Fox on 020 7420 7103 or e-mail caroline.fox@fdf.org.uk if you have any questions.
