Following dinner, we heard from David Milner, Executive Chairman of Crosta & Mollica, who shared his experience of building and scaling a number of exceptional brands.
With characteristic humility, David described his approach to identifying winning businesses: finding companies with a distinctive brand, a superior product and international appeal that have yet to reach their full potential. While the formula itself has remained largely unchanged, he reflected on how experience and repetition have enabled him to move faster and unlock value more efficiently.
It was a privilege to hear such an accomplished business leader speak so openly about his journey and to see him engage with questions from many of the food and drink industry’s leading figures.
