Cooking up Success this July

July 2010

Food, glorious food. What could be nicer than turning a love of food into a restaurant, café, new product or catering service?

But running a food business isn’t just about your cooking skills. There are lots of important questions to consider, both before you get started and once you’re up and running.

The Business & IP Centre can help. Throughout July they’re running special events exploring the key issues you’ll need to think about:

  * What makes you stand out from the crowd?
  * How will you choose suppliers?
  * Will you work from home or open a café?
  * The red tape: how will health and safety regulations affect you?


Meet a host of foodie entrepreneurs, including Richard Reed of innocent smoothies, and Oliver Peyton, Great British Menu judge and co-founder of catering company Peyton & Byrne.
