Hear more about the many ways here at The Felix Project we are unlocking more food surplus from within the supply chain. Hosted by Abbie Mines, Sustainability Manager at Ocado we chat through our plans with our new processing unit, The Felix Food Factory, our expanding work in the primary production sector, progress with our newly formed Policy team and the continued success with the tenants at Western International Market. This session was recorded live at our 2025 Food Supplier Conference, with a live Q&A from the audience from 32.03. Our Speakers: Nick Kerle: Head of Production - The Felix Project Last year, Felix’s kitchen prepared nearly 1.3million nutritious and tasty ready-to-eat meals. This work is both essential to support the many Londoner’s who find themselves in temporary accommodation, often without cooking equipment and to ensure The Felix Project can effectively accept catering sizes and seasonal gluts. Nick Kerle has been with Felix for the past 4 yrs and he’s going to tell you a little more about how the Felix Kitchen works as well as the fantastic food-saving potential being unlocked with the new Felix Food Factory. Peter Hall: Owner - HE Hall & Son In 2024, The Felix Project won the “Waste Not Want Not” award at the Grocer Awards for their groundbreaking rescue efforts at the organic orchard Peter Hall runs. For 2yrs now over 1,000 volunteers have descended on the farm in Kent each Summer to rescue upward of 60 tonnes of plums, pears and apples. Felix is keen to expand their work in Primary Production, an area of the food chain where there’s still so much potential to re-route surplus, here’s Peter to tell you more about the partnership and help you all spread the word in your own supply chain network. Charlotte Hill: CEO - The Felix Project Charlotte will be bringing an update on Felix’s newly formed policy unit and how we hope to use legislation change to call for systemic change to incentivise food surplus redistribution and better protects businesses over their liability when donating food. Keith Ward: Chair - Western International Tennant Association Finally, a story of what initially seemed like a complex task of co-ordinating multiple independent traders to split out their waste, can with focus and commitment result in 572 tonnes of edible produce rescued, equivalent to over 1.3 million meals. May I welcome Keith Ward, Chair of Western International Tennant Association tell you more about food rescue at a busy London fruit and veg market.

After a strong start to the year, the UK economy spluttered again in May, shrinking by 0.1% from the previous month. Manufacturing output sagged, along with construction and retail sales. A year ago, a Labour government was elected on a promise to revive growth and “put more money in people’s pockets”. So far, there’s been little sign of a turnaround. In the 12 months to May 2025, the economy grew by just 0.7% - an anaemic rate that won’t leave many households feeling better off. Twenty years ago, growth over the same period was more than three times higher. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
