FDF statement on Andy Burnham being appointed Prime Minister

Karen Betts, Chief Executive, The Food and Drink Federation (FDF), said:

“Many congratulations to Andy Burnham on his appointment as Prime Minister. It’s been encouraging to see him recognise the critical role that food production plays in all of our lives.

“Food and drink manufacturers stand ready to work with the new Prime Minister and his team to ensure that together we are building the resilient, cutting-edge food system our country needs. That means urgently creating the conditions for innovation, growth and investment in skills, which will in turn drive renewed prosperity in communities everywhere across the UK.”
