The FoodTalk Radio Show was founded by Sue Nelson, former CEO of The Breakthrough Group, author of Foodtech UK and founder of TLA FoodTech. The programme was launched in March 2016 to showcase food tech, food innovation and to promote artisan producers. Food and drink experts from around the country also discuss the latest trends in everything from distribution and delivery, to taste profiles and
tech innovation. The show often has guest presenters such as Ollie Lloyd founder of Great British Chefs, Kumud Gandhi the Spice Queen and Holly Shackleton editor of Speciality Food Magazine. FoodTalk guests have included Craig Sams (Green & Blacks), Pippa Murray (Pip & Nut), Ali Campbell (UB40), Monika Brinton (Brindisa), William Chase (Tyrell's Crisps and Chase Vodka), Willie Harcourt-Cooze (Willie's Cacao), Sheila Dillon (The Food Programme), Tim Boldt (Gousto), Sam Clark (Moro), Patricia Michelson (La Fromagerie), Asma Kahn (Darjeeling Express), Sian Sutherland (Plastic Planet) and Adam Byatt (Celebrity MasterChef) amongst many others.

For enquiries about free syndication or featuring on the show, please contact [email protected]. Please note that the decision to invite guests on the show is entirely at the discretion of the producer and presenter and is based on the back story and entertainment value of the interviewee. No fee is required to appear and no expenses or fees for appearances are given, nor do we accept any advertising revenue. The radio show is funded personally by Sue Nelson as a charitable endeavour to raise the profile of the UK food and drink sector.
