About Us

Jane Milton set up The Food Network in the late 1990’s when it became apparent that many food and food related businesses around London would like to network with peers but often found it difficult to commit to regular meetings because of work pressure. So the idea of an electronic forum was formed.

One immediate advantage was that this meant there was no geographical barrier to the Network and businesses from across the UK and some from Europe signed up. The group grew by word of mouth.

In 2006 a website was created to allow some information to be available all the time and to make more businesses aware of The Food Network.

The Network now has several hundred members who come mainly from the UK.
