Venue change offers exhibition new potential
Venue change offers exhibition new potential
Organisers of the Food and Meat Expo and Foodtech 2005 exhibitions are heavily promoting the move to the International Centre in Telford as a very positive factor in attending the show as an exhibitor or, as a visitor. The exhibitions locate together in Telford on 7 and 8 September and are designed to provide a new style exhibition experience for participants.
The exhibitions are endorsed by 24 leading trade organisations. The English Beef and Lamb Executive (EBLEX) was keen to participate and booked a stand early to ensure a prominent position at Food and Meat Expo. Phil Davies, trade sector manager-marketing at EBLEX explains: We feel the exhibition will offer us a useful way to meet the industry. The launch of our Quality Standard for English beef and lamb has been a great success and we will use this opportunity to inform the trade about the Mark and our ongoing trade promotions, as well as future plans. Of course meeting our trade partners will give them a chance to give us their views, which we want to encourage.
The important and respected SOFHT conference will be staged over the two days during the exhibitions and Helen Hyde of the society reported that SOFHT were delighted with the modern and roomy facilities at the Telford International Centre and that everyone involved are really looking forward to the two days when the conference and Foodtech show link up.
The Food and Meat Expo also hosts the National Sausage Competition and National Pie and Pasty Competition. These are the biggest craft competitions of their type in the UK staged every two years by the National Federation of Meat and Food Traders.
