Lockton and Simmons & Simmons are co-hosting an exclusive food and drink sector dinner on Thursday 30 April 2026, led by Ian Wright CBE, one of the industry’s most experienced and influential voices.
This small, senior level roundtable will bring together leaders from select food and drink businesses for a Chatham House Rule discussion over welcome drinks and a three-course dinner at the Pan Pacific, London.
Alongside Ian’s insights, Simmons & Simmons LLP (global law firm) and Lockton will help guide a conversation focused on the sector’s most pressing issues, including political volatility, cost pressures, evolving regulation, rising scrutiny of ultra processed foods (UPFs), the emerging influence of GLP 1s on consumer behaviour, and the future of food.
If there are particular topics you would like us to consider, please feel free to share them in advance.
Spaces are limited to maintain the quality of discussion, so we kindly ask you to RSVP by emailing paula.treacy@lockton.com to secure your place, stating any dietary requirements.
