Four start-ups have been chosen to enter the ‘Lions Den’ at the National Food & Drink Business Conference & Exhibition being held on Thursday, September 5th, 2019 at the Citywest Hotel & Convention Centre in Dublin, which is expected to attract over 3,000 visitors from across Ireland. The four Finalists are:

* Fiid

* Gogo Roos/Humble Acre

* Simply Fit Food

* Sweet Potato Pizza Company.

The Lions Den competition, organised by Bradley Brand & Design, provides an opportunity for food and drink start-ups to accelerate their growth by gaining industry-wide exposure along with invaluable advice and feedback from the Lions.

In the Lions Den, the Finalists will be confronted by: Alison Cowzer of The Company of Food and an RTE Dragons Den investor; Holly White, Author and Food & Lifestyle Influencer; Colum O’Sullivan, Co-founder of Cully & Sully; and Brian Lee, Co-Founder and CEO of Freshly Chopped. Andrew Bradley, MD of Bradley Brand & Design, will attempt to keep the Lions under control.

The Lions Den winner will receive a free Exhibition Stand at the National Food & Drink Business Conference & Exhibition in Dublin; a free booth at the Food & Drink Expo 2020 event in the UK; and a Bradley Brand and Design Master Class. The winner will also receive tickets to the 2019 Irish Food & Drink Business Awards presentation ceremony and gala dinner at the Citywest Hotel on the evening of Thursday, 5 September 2019. This event will follow the National Food & Drink Business Conference and Exhibition, held earlier that day.
