Food and drink founders' table

Building a business in the food and drink industry is no easy feat. Buyers can be hard to reach, regulatory compliance is complex and profit margins can feel razor-thin.

That's why we've created a space for food and drink business owners to tackle these challenges head on, no matter where you are on your journey.

Each month, Leisa Pickles, Enterprise Nation ambassador and founder of Find Me the Leads®, brings food and drink business owners together for real, honest conversations about running and growing a business in the industry today.

The August Table: Great Taste Awards

For our August session, we're doing something a little different.

With the Great Taste Awards 2026 results announced last week, Leisa Pickles will share a judge's perspective on one of the world's most respected food and drink accreditation schemes.

Hear how the awards work, why they matter for independent producers, and understand what entering the awards could mean for your business.

What to expect

A 45-minute virtual session featuring insights from Leisa Pickles, Enterprise Nation Community Ambassador, founder of Find Me the Leads® and Great Taste Awards judge, with time afterwards to network with fellow food and drink founders in breakout rooms.

Who this session is for

Whether you're a small business owner, a solo founder or a growing team, if you operate in the food and drink industry and want to connect with others doing the same, this is your table.
