149: Manufacturers & suppliers discussion panel at VegFestUK Summerfest Online Trade Day
Vegan Business Talk episode 149
This episode features a panel discussion I hosted a couple of months ago for the VegFestUK Summerfest Online event for the Trade Day’s manufacturers and suppliers section.
It features several renowned entrepreneurs in the food, fashion and beauty sectors.
Among the topics they discuss include:
• How lockdown impacted them
• What they had to do to survive
• What’s selling and why
• The impact of lockdown on the development of new products
• How the COVID-19 situation impacted their relationships with wholesalers, distributors and retailers
• What staff issues have come up and how they’re handling them
• What they need – from governments, retailers and customers to survive or thrive, especially with so much uncertainty and the possibility of further lockdowns
• And more
