The FDF is a powerful voice for the UK’s vibrant, resilient and diverse food and drink manufacturing industry.

For over 100 years, we have successfully contributed to policy making and legislative development, championing our members’ views – large and small – on the critical issues of the day.

We bring together business, government and stakeholders to ensure our manufacturers have the right conditions to grow, invest and employ, while continuing to produce high quality, nutritious and affordable food and drink.

With more than 1,000 members – from the most recognisable global brands to the most innovative start-ups – we represent the largest manufacturing sector in the country.

We work in close partnership with FDEA to support UK exports of food and drink, jointly publishing quarterly industry trade snapshot reports and producing shared guidance to help exporters.
