Networking for the food industry in the East of England

FoodEast is about networking and best practice in the food and drink industry in the east of England - especially with regard to skills and innovation. You should carry on reading, and consider joining the FoodEast network, if you have a professional interest in the agri-food and drink industry in the East of England. We have around 500 companies and over 3000 individuals who have joined our network.

In the period 2000-2003, FoodFen was,formed from a pilot network of food companies in north Cambridgeshire and west Norfolk. In early 2004 the pilot was extended to the rest of the East of England Region and began work, as a privately-owned business, under the title of FoodEast. Until 2010/11 the East of England region was defined under the RDA boundaries. Hence, the East of England Development Agency (EEDA) was responsible for the counties of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

EEDA, and all the other RDAs are being abolished in 2011 and FoodEast is now extending its geographical work area to cover the additional counties of; Lincolnshire, Rutland, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Kent. FoodEast is also able to work in the Greater London area.We call this extended region the East of England.
