A lot of our work involves working with journalists, writers, producers, and the media, answering their questions and helping them understand the tradition of the English breakfast. Over the last decade we have given more than three hundred interviews to newspapers, radio stations, magazines in too many countries to count, and we have appeared on television representing the tradition many times, acting as the PR team representing the tradition, and raising its profile in the media for more than a decade.
We are responsible for the current resurgence of the tradition nationally, and for encouraging the tradition into a global trend, by raising the English breakfast up on the international stage.
Our Chairman was invited by the BBC to breakfast with the late Sir Terry Wogan and filmed for the last television series he made with the BBC called Terry's Great Food Trip, talking about the history of the English breakfast on camera. Learn more about this in our article on breakfast with Sir Terry.
We helpes the WSJ team with their English breakfast story, and our Chairman became the only man in history to have made an English breakfast so good the Wall Street Journal published a picture of it.
