The driving force behind the concept of Cornwall Food & Drink, she has worked amongst the county’s food and drink businesses and other sector organisations for many years and is highly respected for her expertise and integrity. Contact Ruth to discuss membership benefits, sponsorship of our events, strategy, using any of our professional services or working in partnership with Cornwall Food & Drink.

Alex Harris, Director
For contemporary flair, an eye for detail, unlimited good (and sometimes slightly bonkers) ideas, and boundless energy and drive, Alex is unequalled. Her role is to create the concepts for our projects, but she also runs the company with Ruth. Alex works 1-2 days a week from her own office in North Cornwall.
