The report, which is sponsored by Entegra, the world’s largest food group purchasing organisation, comprises 100 entries across four categories – restaurateurs, casual dining leaders, trailblazers, and investment and property – and features a total of 131 people.
A number of criteria have been set in order for people to make the list, including having a wide industry reach; having the ability to influence change; having a strong, clear and identifiable voice; having scale and clout within the sector; and presiding over a brand, company or restaurant that is not only well respected but carries weight and significance.
The criteria also takes into account those people that oversee key financial decisions in terms of investment in the restaurant sector.
The list includes high-profile chefs, business founders, and leaders at the UK’s biggest high street restaurant groups, as well as disruptors affecting change and the behind-the-scenes industry movers and shakers.
