Panel – What defines leadership?
Monday May 19th, 3:30pm
London Wine Fair Centre Stage, Olympia
Hosted by Ben Franks, Co-Founder & CCO of Canned Wine Group
In a time of rapid change and growing complexity, the question of what makes a great leader has never been more relevant. This session will explore the many forms leadership can take – within businesses, across teams, and even between industries. From the vineyards to the boardroom, how we lead has a profound impact on how we adapt, grow, and innovate.
Together with voices from both within and outside the wine world, we’ll challenge traditional ideas of leadership, explore the traits that define effective leaders today, and consider what the wine industry can learn from other sectors. With industry headwinds ranging from shifting consumer behaviours to sustainability demands, strong leadership is more than a buzzword – it’s essential.
Featuring panelists:
- Kris Hall, CEO & Founder – The Burnt Chef Project
- Tina Warner-Keogh – Co-Founder & Co-CEO at Warner’s Distillery
- Jaega Wise – Broadcaster, Author, Brewer
- Georg Gruber– CEO at Nando’s Grocery

LWF ‘Burnt Brunch’ Panel: “The Human Side of Hospitality – Nurturing Talent and Mental Health in a High-Pressure Industry”
Join the us for our first collaboration with The Burnt Chef Project, leaders in mental health awareness in the hospitality industry, at the first London Wine Fair ‘Burnt Brunch’ to champion better mental health awareness in the drinks sector. The panel, hosted by Ben Franks, Co-Founder of Canned Wine Group and Kris Hall, Founder of The Burnt Chef Project, will explore how businesses can nurture talent within the trade while prioritising mental health. Addressing the challenges of working in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment they will discuss with two guest panellists – Nicky Burston, CEO at The Drinks Trust and Paul Laurie, Essex Wine Man- how businesses can create supportive, people-first cultures that benefit both employees and businesses. Drinks and breakfast nibbles will be provided during the brunch and all donations received will raise funds for the not-for-profit mental health organisation, The Burnt Chef Project.
