Food and Drink Federation
www.fdf.org.uk
The Food and Drink Federation is the voice of the UK food and drink industry, the largest manufacturing sector in the country.
Our sector directly employs almost 440,000 people, and as many as 1.2 million in ancillary services; it accounts for 15% of the UK's total manufacturing sector by value; and it is an invaluable partner to British agriculture, buying two thirds of what farmers produce. Our membership comprises manufacturers of all sizes as well as trade associations dealing with specific sectors of the industry.
FDF employs about 60 people in its London and Edinburgh offices.
A core strength of FDF is its technical expertise and deep understanding of industry issues, as well its clear focus on the policy areas that have the biggest impact on the industry, which ensures we are well placed to deliver results for our members.
We help our members operate in an appropriately regulated marketplace to maximise their competitiveness. We communicate our industry's values and concerns to Government, regulators, consumers and the media. We also work in partnership with key players in the food chain to ensure our food is safe and that consumers can have trust in it.
Our annual review will give you a taste of the work we do on behalf of the industry.
FDF is structured so that it is focused on delivering results in the areas that have the biggest impact on our members' businesses.
As an organisation, we are run by our members for the benefit of our members, who play an active role in all areas of our work: through our technical and policy commitees, our strategic steering groups, our Executive Committee and Council.
