It’s just a short newsletter this week, but I wanted to get you the latest on the tariffs and metals prices, since there is a lot happening of importance in our world. I need to focus on the forecast for the next couple weeks. It’s on Sept. 9. You can find the agenda and the details for registering, as I wrote above, here: Ashton Report: 2025 E&S Market Forecast.
The day after the forecast meeting, I fly to Arizona for this year’s FEDA annual conference in Scottsdale. Look forward to seeing some of you there. I’m moderating the roundtables Thursday afternoon. In other words, things are busy and you won’t see another newsletter until mid-September.
I’m excited about presenting the forecast, as I always am. With our seven guest speakers, I’ll learn a lot, too. With all that’s happening in the world that affects the foodservice E&S business, you really don’t want to miss it this year. I think you’ll find it worth every nickel.
In the meantime: Be well. Have fun. Do good.
Cheers, Robin
