The annual BPEX confidence survey has just gone out to producers, processors, vets, retailers and foodservice across the industry.

BPEX head of communications, Andrew Knowles, said: "This survey gives us a vital snapshot of the industry and, as we have been carrying out the survey for several years now, it also gives us some comparative information.

"I would urge everybody who has received a questionnaire to spend a few minutes filling it in. It also contains a section on BPEX itself and whether or not we have been meeting the needs of the industry. It gives people the chance to say what BPEX is doing well and where it could do better. The responses from this survey help to determine where BPEX concentrates its resources to help the industry."

Anybody who would like to take part in the survey but has not received a questionnaire can do so by following one of these links:BPEX Survey 2013 BPEX Survey 2013 (Retail Foodservice)
