Our Mission

To provide the food and food service industry with exceptional marketing, media and public relations services.

Our Background

Food Marketing Ltd was launched March 1st, 2004 due to a clearly defined need; there was no advertising, marketing or PR company specialising in the needs of the food industry. Food is the cornerstone of our economy and culture. It has clearly defined sales, promotional and marketing needs that differ from other product categories. Food Marketing Ltd understands these needs, and how to deliver marketing solutions with performance and value.
