“We’re delighted to once again support the British Library’s Food Season,” said Helen Pyman, marketing director for Miele GB. “The festival aligns with our passion for innovation, quality and sustainability — not only in appliances, but in the way we experience and understand food.”
Dr Polly Russell added: “Thanks to Miele’s continued support, the Food Season is able to grow in ambition and reach. The 2025 programme offers an extraordinary platform for exploring the intersections of food with identity, health, environment and storytelling.”
