Food & Drink in Focus
In this episode of The C-Suite Spot, Rob Iles is joined by David Wilkinson, who recently swapped corporate leadership for a new chapter in consultancy after more than 30 years in senior roles across food and drink.
Together, they explore how the industry is shifting from the pressures of value and growth to the rise of new consumer behaviours reshaping categories. They discuss why foodservice and retail are changing so quickly, the pitfalls of big brands acquiring smaller, exciting challengers, and the constant need to stay authentic in the eyes of the consumer. With fresh perspective and candid reflections, Rob and David unpack what today’s leaders should be thinking about to keep brands relevant and resilient in uncertain times.
