Andrew Ely, MD of Ely Advisory
Ely Advisory is a boutique consultancy specialising in working with food and drink companies on UK market entry. Founded by Andrew Ely in 2017 and utilising over 30 years of successful sales and marketing experience with UK based food and drink companies.
We can all think of inspirational food and drink brands but how do we create them? This is a question which has always fascinated me. My experience covers a wealth of categories: bread and cakes, Chinese and Italian products, gluten and lactose free, plant-based foods, crisps and snacks, wines and spirits. I am well versed in managing the opportunities and challenges around cross-cultural and cross-border working. I have also got to know and thrive working with the different ownership structures that support modern food businesses; from large publicly quoted companies to private equity backed investments and exits.
At channel level, I have strong experience evaluating and executing the different choices facing companies who want to come to market in the UK. Retail and online are perhaps the most visible of these options but increasingly Out-of-Home and Business-to-Business form an essential part of any well-planned market entry.
