#112 Jon Davies, MD of Levy UK and Ireland, on the Circular Food Economy

Levy UK is the catering and hospitality partner to many of the UK's iconic sport, leisure, heritage, performing venues, conference and exhibition centres – and with that comes great responsibility for a green future. MD of Levy UK and Ireland Jon Davies shares how so much is possible to change within the catering and hospitality industry, and why the future is bright. 

In this inspiring conversation, we learn more about how such a large catering company is tackling food waste and working with sustainable suppliers. We also discuss rewilding land, educating people’s food choices, preparing for this year’s UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), finding sustainable solutions for clients – and the power of oyster mushrooms.
