EMMA Verkaik, membership & marketing director of the BCMPA, has teamed up with Nick Henson FIFST, of NH Development Services, to host a presentation in how to develop partnerships with contract manufacturers.
Called ‘Mind the Gap – Important tips for start-ups when engaging with Contract Manufacturers and Packers in the food sector’, the hour-long presentation will feature at the IFE live webinar event on Tuesday October 12th.
The aim is to help start-up firms successfully engage with contract manufacturers and packers by highlighting some of the ‘do’s and don’ts’ for new businesses when planning how to take their projects forward.
The presentation will walk beginners through the process, outlining avoidable pitfalls and touching on the importance of developing a strong dialogue.
Emma has more than three decades of experience, from running her own packaging firm to representing BCMPA members for the last 10 years. She said, “The BCMPA plays a major role in helping start-ups to get their projects off the ground and I hope this webinar will be of further use to them in taking their concept through development and into production.
“BCMPA members have a wealth of experience in manufacturing, packing, fulfilment, logistics and supply chain management, and we are keen to be able to provide practical advice to new start-ups on how best to engage with them to ensure successful results all round. BCMPA members are experts in their field and effective outsourcing enables start-ups to concentrate on their core skills in terms of building their business and marketing, leaving the challenges surrounding production to their outsourcing partners.
“This webinar will give a clear, informed insight into the best way to develop a strong, constructive partnership between client and contract manufacturer, delivering effective and rewarding results for both parties from the outset.”
Following Emma’s presentation, Nick Henson FIFST will talk more specifically on product development and NPD.
The webinar will finish with a Q&A session.
