Confex were delighted to hold their first ever Foodservice Fair at Stratford Racecourse on 8th June. With the foodservice membership growing and also the launch of awardwinning CORE Own brand in the past 2 years, the buying group felt it was time to stage a foodservice focussed event and it was a huge success. The day started with insightful and inspiring presentations from Confex’s Tom Gittins, Martin Williams and Matt Norman followed by some Members and Suppliers. The afternoon consisted of trade show with 37 suppliers showcasing their products. The fair was extremely well received by attendees with positive feedback from all:
“The Confex team were as passionate and happy to help as ever. The Confex team fully engaged before, during and after the show to ensure members were aware of our deals and NPD. The first ever Confex foodservice show allowed us to cook off our NPD and spend quality time with targeted members. A fantastic day spent educating the groups’ foodservice member base and securing new listings” – Martin, Nestle Professional.
“In terms of the trade event both Rob and I found it very well organised form start to finish and a very good location re parking and accessibility etc. We thought all the presenters were very knowledgeable and their content was to the point and very topical. The hospitality in terms of food throughout the day and evening was excellent. Really enjoyed the opportunity to network in the evening. The day was a real fast track in to the D N A of Confex!” – Andrew Waller, MD Deckers Group
“The Confex Food Service Trade Day gave me the opportunity to talk to key members both new and current. The Confex team created a welcoming environment at a great venue. If you’re serious about foodservice, then this is a show not to miss!” – Stephen Shilling, Business Development Manager for Hills Biscuits
