Dr Andrew Kemp headlines Arena's Savoy Lecture Event
20 Mar 2020
Dr Andrew Kemp MBE, group sales and marketing director at Bidfood, was the keynote speaker at the Arena Savoy Lecture Event where he addressed key issues including childhood hunger to over 200 guests.
Kemp said as many as four million children in the UK can't afford the fruit, vegetables and protein needed to maintain a balanced diet.
He urged the industry to take action against 'holiday hunger'. Also Kemp argued the industry must 'fight' to ensure the retention of Universal Free School Meals (UFSM) but this could prove difficult because of the coronavirus outbreak.
When asked about what made his career so successful, Kemp replied saying there were three key factors:
- Having the right people around you.
- Making sure you listen to these people and learn from them.
- Listening to your customers.
After Kemp's keynote speech guests enjoyed drinks and a canape reception as well as a three-course dinner.
