    Name: Cornelis Galama on Jul 1, 2008
    Position: Director
    Company: Interflow food brokers
    Comments: It would be a sad loss to the British food industrie if FFB International were to be closed down. It is already trailing the German and French equivalents by 20 years.

    Name: Sir Paul Judge on Jul 1, 2008
    Position: former Chairman
    Company: Food from Britain
    Comments: Food from Britain provides a huge benefit for the UK food and drink industry. Its government funding has always been less than its French, German and Irish competitors. However the decision by the government now to cease all funding is totally against the statements by the Prime Minister, the Secretary of State for BERR, and the Minister for the UKTI, Digby, Lord Jones, that the government wishes to encourage small and medium enterprises, especially in their export endeavours.

    Position: Account Manager
    Company: Marlow Foods
    Comments: The support that FFB have given Marlow Foods over the past 15 years of overseas trading has been invaluable. Without their help, precise marketing knowledge etc., a lot of our achievements may not have been fulfilled. They provide a highly professional service with a wealth of experience - a 'must have' for any company intending to export .

    Name: David Taylor on Jul 1, 2008
    Position: Deputy Managing Director
    Company: Fredericks Dairies Ltd
    Comments: We at Fredericks Dairies have been exporting to Europe with the help of Food From Britain for over 10 years. As an independent business, with a small, largely UK focused commercial team, without their help it would have been impossible to devote the time or resources to developing this business. As a consequence, should Food From Britain cease to be supported by the UK government, it is likely that much of our export business will come to an end within a year or two.

    Name: Patrick Davis on Jul 1, 2008
    Position: Managing Director
    Company: Food Consulting Ltd
    Comments: I was fortunate enough to be CEO of FFB from 1994 to 2000 and was greatly saddened when I heard that the British Government was to stop funding. The team at FFB worked hard to help many businesses over the years and helped to build significant exports of food & drink. If the International Directors are prepared to continue to provide help and advice to companies I believe the Government should support this in some way.

    Company: MatthewsInternationalInc
    Comments: FFB has successfully pursuaded a large number of importers,distributors and retailers in the companies in which they operate to purchase British food and beverages. This is a continuing process in continually changing conditions , and increasing competition. It needs first hand knowledge and contacts with food people which only the staff of FFB have been able to provide. The staff at the DTI, embassies and consulates do not have these qualifications.
