We're delighted to announce the first speaker for thefoodpeople's 13th Annual Food & Beverage Trend Summit, taking place virtually via Zoom on Tuesday 17th November 2026.
Joining us for this year's Summit is George Taylor, Founder and CEO of Frive, the UK's highest-rated fully prepared meal delivery service.
George founded Frive in 2017 from his one-bedroom flat and has since bootstrapped the business to more than 27 million meals delivered, serving tens of thousands of customers each week.
Frive was built on a simple belief: what we eat shapes how we live. Today, its chef-made, dietitian-approved meals are made using 100% whole foods, prioritising British and organic ingredients wherever possible.
George's vision extends beyond making healthy eating easier. He is building Frive around the role food can play in preventative health - helping more people live better and longer.
What will George's session be about?
George will be joining us to explore how changing expectations around health, convenience and personalisation are reshaping the food & drink landscape - and what it really takes to turn a personal conviction into a successful, scaled food business.
We'll get under the skin of some big questions: Can convenience food help people eat more healthily at scale? How do you balance nutrition with taste, affordability and accessibility? And how do you build trust with consumers when expectations are constantly changing?
George will also share lessons from his own founder journey, from spotting a gap in the market to scaling a purpose-led proposition and building a brand that aims to change the way people eat every day.
