Gategroup is the world’s leading inflight caterer, providing comprehensive food and hospitality solutions and operating the largest global network in aviation, maritime, and rail transport. Gategroup delivers operational excellence while enhancing the passenger experience, serving a diverse range of tastes and needs. As part of its global operations, gategroup is looking for suppliers based in both the UK and Europe. Their buyers are particularly interested in high-quality, enjoyable snacks with a clear unique selling point and broad appeal. While innovation is valued, products must also make commercial sense and have a realistic chance of being listed in the highly competitive airline and rail retail environment, where SKU space is limited.

The Pitching Zone at the Bread & Jam Festival is powered by Nielsen IQ (NIQ).
