Commercial Kitchen unveils its initial exhibitor list for 2017
 |
Commercial Kitchen has released an initial exhibitor list for its 2017 event. The UK’s only dedicated trade event for the entire commercial kitchen industry will return to the NEC Birmingham on 6-7 June, with 100 exhibiting companies showcasing the complete range of innovative equipment, devices and services required to run, refurbish or build a commercial kitchen.
“The enthusiastic reception for the launch of Commercial Kitchen last year proved that there was a substantial demand across the foodservice and catering sector for one focused event that brought the whole dynamic catering equipment market together,” says group event director Chris Brazier.
“The kitchen is one of the most important investments any operator has to make, and Commercial Kitchen is the most comprehensive trade show of its kind, in this country. This year’s senior equipment buyers can look forward to our most exciting line-up yet. They’ll enjoy opportunities to experience first-hand, ground breaking new products and services from leading industry innovators. Many of which won’t be exhibiting together at any other event in the UK this year.
“Being able to compare what’s on offer in the market from the best brands in one visit, and get advice and inspiration to ensure you make the best decisions for your business, whatever your size or need, is what makes Commercial Kitchen such an invaluable experience to its visitors. It’s also what makes it such a unique proposition for its exhibitors,” he says.
Choosing to exhibit at Commercial Kitchen was a ‘no-brainer’, according to Carpigiani UK’s sales director Scott Duncan. For them it’s an unmissable opportunity to reach the types of visitors that the show attracts.
“The feedback we received from speaking with other exhibitors, who attended the launch edition in 2016, was extremely positive. Likewise, at various networking events and other trade shows, I was hearing great things about Commercial Kitchen! Other sales directors working for equipment manufacturers were raving about the show and said it was not to be missed due to the quality of its visitors. To get our equipment in-front of some of the industry’s key buyers is a no-brainer,” says Duncan.
Echoing the sentiments of many of their co-exhibitors in 2016, Unox UK’s Kate Brooman says: “Commercial Kitchen is exactly the kind of show our industry needed. With the focus being purely on catering equipment it attracted high quality visitors and we found it to be extremely successful. This year we are looking forward to more of the same with high quality visitors from all sectors of the foodservice industry.”
“At long last a trade show where the right companies are exhibiting and the right people are attending – really great,” says Patrick L Bray, MD of Regale Microwave Ovens.
