Thank you to all those who joined us for this successful event in Manchester on 01 December 2009. Many themes were covered including:

* who is the Chinese consumer and how can we understand different taste preferences?
* what are food hygiene levels like in factories?
* distribution and how this is fundamental to success
* how to finance a venture in China and where to domicile the corporate entity

Very interesting anecdotes and in-depth information was shared by both our experienced panel and the senior level delegates in attendance.
