Join us for what promises to be an outstanding gathering of
the food and beverage supply‐chain community at the forthcoming
Northern Section Annual Lunch, organised by the Brewing, Food &
Beverage Industry Suppliers’ Association (BFBi). Whether you’re a
long-standing member, a new connection, or somewhere in between, this event
offers an ideal combination of networking, insight, and celebration.
We’re delighted to welcome Richard McCann as our keynote speaker.
Richard’s journey is one of resilience, hope, and transformation. Having endured immense adversity in his early life, Richard rebuilt himself and his future through what he calls the “iCan Mindset.” Today, he’s a Sunday Times bestselling author (Just a Boy, with nearly half a million copies sold) and an internationally recognised motivational speaker.
His story of overcoming challenges and reframing setbacks will inspire both individuals and teams to find strength, positivity, and purpose—making him the perfect voice to headline this year’s event.
