HAVE YOUR SAY

Are we still creating a stir in your kitchen?

It’s incredibly important to us that we don’t just take for granted that you, our readers, are getting the most out of the content we provide in Stir it up.

Each year we conduct a Readers Survey to find out exactly what support, advice and inspiration you need to successfully operate in your sector. We then utilise this information to plan our editorial focuses, adapt current articles and create new features.

For 2023 we have introduced several new features based on the feedback received in 2022. You told us you wanted cost saving tips, ideas to improve staff retention, more food trend inspiration as well as information around sustainability including how to grow your own produce. As a result we introduced the new Into the Wild, Making Ends Meet, Heads Up and Fresh from the Kitchen features.

We also utilise many of your suggestions for topics you’d like to see covered in our Advice from the Experts, Melting Pot and Category Focus features when creating our editorial calendar for the year – and we welcome you to do the same again this year.

So, your thoughts and ideas really do help shape the future of the magazine!
