Our mission is to unlock the regenerative potential of food, drink and hospitality, and specialist education in these areas, to the benefit of communities, places, organisations and the natural environment.
Our regular public events, from lectures and panel discussions to lunch clubs and hosted dinners, provide the perfect environment to learn about food, drink and culture and to meet other food enthusiasts.
We provide a range of commercial services for clients and partner organisations, all focused on food, drink and culture, including educational and creative consultancy; commissioned research; professional development programmes; and the creation and hosting of events.
We can achieve much more together than we can as individuals. We use creative collaboration, drawing on the skills of those from an extensive, multi-disciplinary network, to achieve desired goals.
Whether working with students to develop their knowledge and skills or with partners and clients to achieve specific goals, we aim to provide support that is creative, professional and fit for purpose.
The success of every project is dependent on strong, respectful relationships between professionals with complementary skills. We provide multiple opportunities for individuals and organisations to connect so as to build working relationships that last.
Food, drink and hospitality provide powerful cultural insights. Through creative learning we encourage respect for those from different cultural backgrounds.
Understanding food, drink and hospitality cannot be a purely theoretical exercise. It requires cultural immersion and a positive and open attitude. The development of convivial and rewarding relationships lies at the heart of what we do.
We judge our success by our educational, cultural and social impact, and the positive change we achieve on behalf of others.
