Following my recent visit to Whitworth’s in Irthlingborough, I was pleased to attend their really interesting ‘Rethink Small’ event held in London, where they highlighted the nutritional and potential health benefits of introducing even just a small, regular handful of dried fruit, nuts, and seeds into our diets - something which is easily overlooked! There were some insightful points raised by experts across the educational, nutritional, and health sectors, with parents and consumers outlining their thoughts too, regarding the importance of food quality, how we can better educate school children about the importance of a varied and balanced diet from an early age, and how attitudes towards food culture remain fundamental to implementing a shift in attitude towards recognising the power of dried fruit, nuts, and seeds. I was really pleased to pop by to support them and to discuss this with Mark Fairweather, Whitworth’s Chief Executive, and Phil Gowland, their Commercial Director, and I look forward to continuing to support them as they continue to bring their important message across industry and to the Government.
