Each year the Company, along with six other City Livery Companies who also specialise in food, supports the annual City Food Lecture, an important event in the city calendar. The Lecture focuses on the sustainability of food and looks at innovative solutions to complex problems.
Food is central to everything we do, from our work in Fish & Fisheries and Food & Nutrition to our outstanding reputation for delicious cuisine. That’s why the Company is delighted to support the annual City Food Lecture.
