Concept To Consumer is the essential food science course designed to equip chefs and artisan food and drink businesses with the knowledge, resources, and tools they need to confidently create and sell safe products, and find the market for them.

Our unique service offers food and drink producers invaluable insights and connections into the food and hospitality industry, combined with access to the top food scientists to guide their technical queries.

Why is this support important?

Mistakes cost money, can cause sickness, and in rare cases, they can be life-threatening. Many artisans and small producers craft unique and dynamic products born from innovative ideas or homemade initiatives. However, navigating the intricacies of food safety regulations can be daunting. We've witnessed the setbacks and costs incurred by businesses due to improper date marking, pH imbalances, and other hazards that compromise product safety. Our Concept to Consumer program addresses these crucial concerns head-on.

Time is money when you’re getting a new product to market. Utilising our consultancy service to access a group of food industry experts offers you a complete destination to execute your product in highly competitive markets.
