What recession?

By Food Job Blogger on 10 October 2011 | Comments 0

Brussels may well be full of Euro MPs worrying over Greek debt, but the Eurostar from London to Brussels was full of Marks and Spencer customers by the look of their bags.  Interesting, that even in these times of debt and worry, a fondant fancy still hits the mark.  Indeed, on the way to the station Jane Asher was talking about the increase in home baking, which is spot on for some of our clients.  So London, Brussels and now Cologne for Anuga, and back to London tonight - might fancy a fondant fancy myself by then!

I will keep you posted about Anuga - we have several client meetings and a number of IFR-A initiatives to get through... it will be a long but productive day.  What is apparent already is there doesn't seemto be much talk about recession here - everyone is talking positively about business - after all, we all have room and a Euro or two for the strawberry, lemon or chocolate mouth-full... And that's the thing all of us in the food industry need to keep in mind.
