Creating Your Recipe for Sustainable Business Growth
“Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.”

Jimi Hendrix

Our Recipe for Your Success

  • We don’t have any off-the-shelf “solutions” to sell you. Our approach is to listen and to challenge you so that we can understand your particular needs and goals. We then work with you (rather than for you) to find pragmatic, cost-effective ways of growing your business and building sustainable and profitable relationships with your customers.
  • The food business is our business:
    • A La Carte was set up by Nicola Thomas in 1998 after 12 years in B2B marketing, business development and export roles in the European food industry, latterly as European Marketing Director of Christian Salvesen Food & Consumer Division.
    • We work with a network of associates in the UK and mainland Europe with bags of “hands-on” experience across the whole food chain and in areas such as PR and design: we understand the big issues, how each link influences the others, the opportunities and the pitfalls. We work with SMEs, Plcs and in both the private and public sector, so we can really put ourselves in your shoes and offer solutions based on our own experiences.
  • Our associate structure means you have access to a wealth of specialist knowledge, expertise and industry contacts. Flexible resources and low overheads allow us to offer very competitively priced services.
  • Our approach doesn’t hinge on you making a big marketing budget available – our skill lies in finding clever, practical ways of doing things
  • We provide an independent and objective view, acting as your customer’s and stakeholder’s ‘eyes and ears’ within your business.
