Pitch Social - Powered by Foodbuy Group 2026

What is Pitch Social?

Pitch Social is an innovative annual event which offers a platform for socially conscious Social Enterprises, B-Corps, and minority-owned businesses to pitch their products and services to a panel of Foodbuy Group stakeholders.

The event gives organisations with strong social and environmental values the chance to showcase their solutions to a panel of decision makers from across Foodbuy Group, with the potential for future collaboration and the opportunity to become listed as a Foodbuy Group supplier.

Pitch Social reflects Foodbuy Group's ongoing commitment to increasing diversity in our supply chain and delivering sustainable, forward-thinking solutions to our members.

The event is approaching, and we are looking for socially conscious suppliers to take part!
