An ideal event to launch and find new brands – influential leads that if converted will put two of our brands firmly on the map.

A wonderful opportunity to meet potential customers and suppliers. So good to see everyone’s spirits so high following such a long period of minimal networking activity.

Fantastic to see the food and drink industry alive and buzzing again! What an amazing show that demonstrates just how innovative the industry has been despite the pandemic. Bringing us all back together again under one roof after so long you could really see the sparks flying - so many connections and ideas flying around.
