Allegra Strategies UK Restaurant Leader Summit June 9 2009, Millennium Mayfair Hotel, London

March 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Allegra Strategies presents the inaugural
UK Restaurant Leader Summit 2009


On 9 June 2009 many of the most influential figures in the UK restaurant industry will gather at The Millennium Mayfair Hotel for a groundbreaking summit presented by leading industry analysts Allegra Strategies.

The inaugural UK Restaurant Leader Summit will play host to high profile influencers and decision makers, including the heads of major restaurant chains, top suppliers and other industry experts.

The restaurant industry is clearly affected by the difficult climate. Though there have been a number of high profile casualties, major chains such as McDonalds, Carluccios, YUM and Clapham House Group are continuing to experience growth. The Summit will offer a fascinating look at how these and other key decision makers are navigating their businesses through the current turbulent climate.

There is no doubt that the industry is rapidly changing. The focus of the summit will be ‘The impact of the economic climate – an examination of current and future landscapes’. Market dynamics, consumer trends and the importance of innovation are the topics that will anchor both speeches and panel discussions.

An incomparable list of key industry speakers, including Mark Philips (CEO of Paramount Holdings), Bob Silk (Hospitality relationship Director, Barclays) and David Page (Chairman, Clapham House Group) will lead the Summit, providing insight and answers to the questions every restaurateur from independents to global chain operators are asking.

Allegra will present their latest research at the Summit; examining the most recent findings from the Restaurant Leader Top of Mind Report, Managing director Jeffrey Young will introduce a comprehensive study of the current viewpoints of restaurant industry leaders, including business concerns and future forecasts.
