MEET THE EXPERT: Selfridges & Tesco Buyers goes down a storm with PinK Producers

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday at Curious Brewery for our latest Meet the Expert event – and an extra special thank you to our brilliant speakers: Adrian Boswell (Senior Buyer, Selfridges) and Christarose Maphosa (Innovation Buying Manager, Tesco).

Adrian and Christarose gave us a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how buying decisions are made at two of the UK’s biggest retailers. From what catches their eye, to the common pitfalls to avoid – the advice was practical, honest and hugely valuable for any producer looking to grow.

Big thanks too to Susie Warran Smith for keeping the panel running smoothly, to the Curious Brewery team for being such warm hosts, and to Jason from Stepstone Imaging for capturing the day so beautifully 📸

And of course – to our amazing members for coming along, asking great questions, and making the most of their 1:1 feedback sessions. The energy in the room was fantastic!

Produced in Kent is here to help our members grow, learn and sell more – and events like this are a big part of that. If you’re a member who missed out, you really missed a good one! And if you’re not a member yet… what are you waiting for?

🗓 Don’t forget – our next Networking and… event is at Silverhand Estate on 1st April. And we’re busy working behind the scenes on a brand-new lineup of events for the next financial year – so watch this space!
