Over 200 producers and colleagues, one day at Rheged, and plenty of good food.
We recently hosted our 2026 Producer Summit, a day of conversations and ideas with the people who make our shelves, counters and menus what they are.
Radio presenter Caz Graham kept things moving as our host, and Dr Rupy Aujla of The Doctor’s Kitchen gave us plenty to think about as our keynote speaker. His talk centered on his mission to reverse the tidal wave of preventable lifestyle disease through education in nutritional medicine.
In the morning, colleagues shared what’s working, what’s hard and what’s next. In the afternoon, producers joined ‘drop in’ sessions on everything from food safety updates and producer talks, to butchery and a deep dive into marketing and how to ‘tell your story’.
Then came the Producer Awards. Nominated by colleagues across our family of businesses, the winners are the people behind the food we’re proud to put on our shelves. Congratulations to everyone shortlisted, and to all our winners. 🏆
Thank you to our speakers, panelists, colleagues and production team for pulling it all together. And to every producer who made the trip: you are the reason we do this, thank you!
