HospitalityPeter BackmanHorizons presents details of our latest Key Club workshop being held on 19 January 2009 at the NEC, Birmingham in association with Hospitality, the UK’s largest national event for hospitality and foodservice. The workshop takes place in the morning, leaving you free for Hospitality in the afternoon.

Led by Peter Backman recognised by many as the foodservice expert, the Key Club is a proven approach that offers an intensive half day learning workshop – with limited numbers of delegates – packed full of information and insight. Over 600 delegates from almost 200 companies have attended previous Key Club events.

Key elements of the Key Club involve sharing Peter’s knowledge and exchanging views.

This workshop is a must for foodservice professionals who:

  • are new to the industry
  • have important decisions to take in the coming year in response to difficult market conditions
  • need to know more about how the industry is structured and how it operates
  • want to bring their knowledge of the sector right up to date
  • would like to be better informed about key trends and issues in the foodservice market
 

“To have such authority with such detailed knowledge is very reassuring. Your conclusions were a real benefit to all, allowing people to shape and prepare their businesses for the future”

Peter Galliford, Chairman, CEDA
