Who are we? Bread & Jam is the brainchild of Tara Mei & Jason Gibb.

Since 2016, Bread & Jam has supported the growth of thousands of food & drink brands.

Every year, 16,000 food and drink brands emerge into the UK market and yet, 90% of them don't make it past their first year of trading. Bread & Jam is a celebration of the food and drink industry's entrepreneurial spirit. There are many reasons for a food business to cease trading but the absence of opportunity, information and industry support should no longer be one of them.
