As this is our finalissue of the year we thought we’d take the opportunity to look back at some of the interviews to seewhat some VIPs think is in store for the future...Jim HardistyManaging Director, Goplasticpallets.com“Currently there are major supply issues of pallet timber in the UK . There is an opportunity for UKretailers to improve their supply chain logistics by operating their own pool of plastic pallets, which aresafer to handle than wooden pallets, less susceptible to damage and breakages and can reducecontamination risk.”Gavin AsheManaging Partner, Kite Packaging“Packaging is becoming more and more important to the selling of aproduct. Customers have an infinite choice of products from an almostinfinite number of retailers, so the need to make your brand visible iscrucial. Great brands need great packaging and being ‘great’ is always achallenge.”Robert KnoxManaging Director, KTEC Group“We’re still only just starting on the upturn of the new in house digital colour label printer era. Weexpect thousands more manufacturers and distributors to switch to using digital colour label printers.All they need is low cost blank labels on rolls and a digital roll label printer, eliminating delays andwastage and putting them in better control.”Mel GroundsellCorporate Relations Director, Seafish“Sustainability is now a core part of the industry’s thinking and the focusis turning to ethics and the human element of the term ‘responsiblesourcing’. We have recently set up of a Seafood Ethics Working Group,which brings together fishers, producers, food service, retailers and NGOswith a clear aim of improving standards across the supply chain.”Stay in touch withFood & Drink InternationalFor more up to the minute information from the food and drink industry,visit Food & Drink International at www.fdiforum.net.
