Ian Wright CBE, Director General of the Food and Drink Federation (FDF),
represented UK food and drink manufacturing at the first meeting of Britain’s
business
leaders since the EU Referendum. FDF and other leading trade associations in

UK discussed with the Business Secretary the most pressing concerns for
businesses and their employees following the Referendum vote.
Ministers convened the roundtable to discuss the challenges facing

into account the views of UK companies, current and potential investors, and
workers.
FDF set out the views of the UK’s food and drink manufacturers and called for
