With final preparations underway, this year’s lunch! trade show – kicking off at 10am on Tuesday 23rd September at the Business Design Centre, London – looks set for another record turnout.
Renowned for attracting key buyers and decision-makers from across the retailing, hospitality and catering sectors, over 6,000 visitors are expected to attend. Many of the country’s biggest names are set to feature, including Costa Coffee, John Lewis and Tesco.
Having sold out all available exhibiting space at its three-floor venue, lunch! 2014 will feature an unprecedented 300 exhibiting companies. Buyers looking to refresh and expand their lunchtime offerings will find plenty of fresh new product ideas from some of the world’s most innovative manufacturers and suppliers of food, drink, catering equipment and technology.
Aside from the wealth of new launches being unveiled at the show, this year’s visitors will also be the first to see the results of the show’s annual Innovation Challenge Awards. The popular show feature, designed to showcase the best food-to-go innovations over the last 12 months, lets visiting buyers decide the final shortlist. Votes for favourite new innovations are cast on the opening day and the products with the most votes before 4pm on 23rd September will be invited to pitch their innovations live to a panel of industry judges the following day.
Other highlights of the show include the Working lunch! Theatre and the British Smoothie Championships.
lunch! is free to attend for pre-registered trade visitors and relevant press representatives only.
Advance registration closes when the show opens at 10am on Tuesday 23 September (after which a £20 door charge may apply).
