British Frozen Food Federation calls for one voice in Brexit negotiations

Peter Allan, president of the British Frozen Food Federation (BFFF), has called on the food industry to stand up and be counted during Britain's Brexit negotiations.

Allan, who was speaking to over 1,000 business leaders at the the association's annual business luncheon on Tuesday this week at the Hilton Park Lane in London, also reiterated BFFF's support for the leadership of the Food and Drink Federation in facilitating the food industry's response to government negotiations.

Allan, who is also director at Cargill Meats Europe, said: "It is impossible to predict what the eventual outcome of Brexit may be but the food industry as a whole must approach this with a clear, loud and collective voice."

The speech follows the launch of BFFF's survey into its members' concerns over the implications of Brexit, the results of which called on the government to deliver on its food export strategy early in negotiations.

In his speech Allan went on to state that BFFF would continue to work with other associations to advise and inform members of the latest developments for the industry during the uncertainty that lies ahead for UK businesses.
