	The foodservice world is vibrant and always changing, encompassing many different sectors, organisations and locations. This diversity can add complexity for those new to the industry and those looking to keep their knowledge uptodate by understanding today&rsquo;s foodservice trends. Key Club is a half day learning session, led by Peter Backman, Horizons&rsquo; MD and foodservice expert, which provides a concise and straightforward introduction to the industry along with an opportunity for you to ask questions of importance to you.</p>

<p>
