Food executives to plot Brexit course for UK’s largest manufacturing sector at Food & Drink Business UK Conference
The Food and Drink Business UK Conference, a leading gathering of food and beverage industry professionals, takes place on the 7th November in the Ricoh Arena, Coventry with a focus on Manufacturing, IT, Data, Logistics and more. The annual event will welcome 2,000 food industry professionals, 200 speakers and 150+ exhibitors.
Top speakers this year include:
- Tammy Butterworth, Global R&D Manager, PepsiCo.
- Vincent Doumeizel, Vice President, Food and Sustainability, Lloyd’s Register Group
- Paul Isherwood – Head of Technical and Quality, SHS Group
- Dr. Gavin Milligan, Group Sustainability Director, William Jackson Food Group
- John Stapleton – Co Founder, Covent Garden Soup and Little Dish
- Thomas Brewer – Engineering Innovation and Transformation, AB InBev
There will be a variety conferences taking place within the event including the Supply Chain & Logistics Summit, Craft Beer and Spirits Expo, Sustainable Food & Beverage Manufacturing Summit and Quality & Safety Summit.
The Food and Drink Business UK Conference takes place as uncertainty grows within the food and drink industry as negotiations gather pace in Brussels ahead of Brexit. The food and drink industry, the UK’s largest manufacturing sector, faces a potential exodus of EU workers, a loss of £3bn in subsidies and the unwinding of over 4,500+ EU regulations and laws that govern the industry. According to the conference organiser Colin Murphy, the event presents a chance for the food and drink industry to discuss the likely challenges head on.
“This is an important event for the food industry in the UK. It’s taking place at a time when there is a significant amount of uncertainty ahead of Brexit. Every executive I speak to about the future begins with ‘What if…’, there is no indication as to what happens next. The Conference is returning for a third year to provide opportunity for companies to find new technologies, alternative ways of manufacturing and help post Brexit planning.”
“We’ll be bringing together the largest food industry and food tech companies including senior executives from the UK to outline what they think is the best case and worst case scenarios for the UK post Brexit.”
Other conferences of taking place at this years event include: Fresh Food Summit, Snack & Confectionary Summit, NPD and Innovation Summit, Packaging Materials, Technology and Design Summit, Food and Drink IT Summit and The Food and Drink Engineering Summit.

HSO ERP deployment drives efficiencies and growth for Sally Salon Services
HSO, provider of innovative enterprise business solutions, is rolling out the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solution, Microsoft Dynamics AX, to help drive business growth and operational efficiencies for Sally Salon Services, a specialty retailer and distributor of professional beauty supplies.
Sally Salon Services existing business technology was becoming increasingly outdated and lacked sufficient functionality and flexibility to support the organisation as it expanded over time. It was looking for a way to future-proof itself by moving away from these outmoded legacy systems and instead embracing new technology with both a proven historical track record and a clearly-defined future growth path.
Microsoft Dynamics AX fitted the bill in all these respects – but Sally Salon Services was also looking for an implementation partner it could trust. It chose HSO.
As John McAleese, account manager, HSO, explains: “Sally Salon Services wanted the reassurance of working with a partner who not only really understood the Dynamics AX platform well but also had a comprehensive knowledge of the core market in which they operate: retail. We became the partner of choice by putting forward a project team, featuring a good mix of Dynamics AX experts but also retail specialists that spoke the same business language as Sally Salon Services.”
The implementation of Dynamics AX is now well underway, with the project taking place in three phases.
The first two phases have already gone live. The first phase was to transition Sally Salon Services finance function over to the new solution, and the second phase covered product set-up, pricing management, account processing and invoicing. The third phase, scheduled for completion in 2018, will address inventory and stock management; sales order processes and customer contact/management.
Once this stage concludes, Sally Salon Services will have a comprehensive enterprise-wide business processing platform, based on Microsoft Dynamics AX, that effectively paves the way for future business expansion.
Mark Purnell, Head of IT Development, Sally Salon Services, says: “Some of the operational IT systems we had been using previously were either coming towards end of life or were no longer supported. In contrast, there is a clear future roadmap for Microsoft Dynamics AX. We know the system will be able to evolve to match our own expansion plans and we know that HSO will be able to support us through this process.
“We are already reaping the rewards from the Dynamics AX implementation,” adds Purnell. “We have established a more consistent way of working across the organisation; we have driven efficiencies and streamlined certain processes – and we now have a robust, reliable and future-proofed platform in place on which to further build the business.
“The support and consultancy we have received from HSO has also been key in helping us to achieve these goals,” he continues. “We are delighted with the quality of HSO staff that have been deployed on this project. We have established a close relationship with them and there are high levels of trust and cooperation between the two organisations.”
