Last week marked the 15th year of the Allegra European Coffee Symposium, held Barcelona. This high profile event welcomed leaders from across Europe’s coffee and hospitality industry for three days of networking, one-on-one meetings, thought leadership and the annual European Coffee Awards.

As part of the conference programme, we were delighted to host a series of exclusive interviews with some of the industry’s most celebrated business leaders in the first ever 5THWAVE Podcast Live.

And today, we’re bringing you the first of those interviews in full, and speaking with Marta Pogroszewska, Managing Director of GAIL’s Bakery.
