Meet The Grocer

In conversation with John Moane, CEO, BWG Foods UC

Global conflict is disrupting energy, fertiliser, and shipping routes — driving food inflation higher, compressing margins, and exposing real vulnerabilities across Ireland’s food supply chain. With grocery prices forecast to rise by up to 10%, Irish FMCG leaders are operating in an increasingly pressured and uncertain environment.

We invite our FMCG Members inside the grocery decision‑making room at Meet the Grocer — a senior‑level discussion with John Moane, Group CEO of BWG Foods UC, one of Ireland’s most influential voices in food retail.

This session will offer FMCG leaders a rare, first‑hand perspective on:

• How leading grocers are navigating inflation, cost pressures, and supply disruption

• What retailers are prioritising in an environment of constrained consumer spend

• Where risks and opportunities are emerging across the value chain in 2026

• What FMCG suppliers need to understand about decision‑making at the top table during these unprecedented times

This is a practical, strategic conversation for senior FMCG executives responsible for commercial performance, supply, pricing, and growth.

Format: In‑person networking lunch, followed by fireside style interview
Audience: Senior leaders from FMCG community only.
