The event enables Food People to foster a community of innovation and growth to help shape the future of the food & beverage industry.

As the region’s first and only food & beverage specific talent solutions business, Food People provides strategic solutions for the end to end supply chain of the industry.

The UAE food industry is ever evolving.

With these factors likely to drive growth in the food & beverage industry, Managing Partner, Luke Truin, explains: “Food People was born from a genuine passion for the industry. We work with diverse businesses and industry leaders to collect valuable insight that we can bring to the table in every endeavour. That’s why we are able to offer agile, flexible solutions to businesses to support the growth of the F&B industry.”
