Lockton is joining forces with food science company, Campden BRI, to support the food and drink industry by providing risk mitigation and management support.

As part of the wider initiative, Lockton will be collaborating with Campden on a new position paper seeking to address the growing global problem of food fraud – currently exacerbated by supply chain frictions and raw ingredient shortages.

Luke Withers, Lockton’s food and drink industry leader in the UK, said: “With thousands of members in the UK and around the world, Campden BRI is the leading and most trusted technical partner for the food and drink industry, and we are proud to collaborate with them to enhance our shared understanding and solutions for the sector. Lockton is a broker of choice for the industry and our industry practice group is laser-focused on delivering solutions and innovation for our food and drink clients. We are looking forward to working with Campden BRI on this and other risks to strengthen the sector's response.”

Bertrand Emond, membership ambassador from Campden BRI, added: “We are excited to have Lockton as a member and to collaborate with them on critical issues for the industry. Their specialist understanding of the risks the industry faces and their global expertise in mitigation measures add great value to our membership.”
