Food & Beverage

The food and beverage sector is a major contributor to the British economy. It accounted for 16% of the UK’s total manufacturing output as at June 2017, making it the largest of all manufacturing subsectors.

As a major employer, food and beverages plays a vital role in local economies in every corner of the country. With growth of 27% from 1997 – 2015 compared with an average of 13% for manufacturing as a whole, its importance to the economy as a whole cannot be understated.

From growers and packers to retailers and consumers, the food and beverage industry is unique in that it spans the whole of society and directly or indirectly affects almost everybody regardless of age or location.
