HMC’s annual event was held in Leicester on Saturday 2nd June and was attended by over 130 delegates, majority Muftis, Imaams and Scholars from across the UK.

HMC set out its plans and vision, including the battle ahead for the protection of Halal, innovation required to track trace and deliver Halal to Muslim consumers who demand nothing less than the assurity HMC has added to the supply chain.
