By GlobalDataFood & Drink Expo sales director Dan Dixon said: “The show only takes place every two years but provides a unique, first-hand opportunity to see some of the most exciting and of-the-moment products on the market.
“The event also affords buyers and representatives from foodservice and grocery industries the chance to meet the people behind these businesses. In an ever more digitalised world, this is often an invaluable opportunity to understand product USPs, as well as offering the opportunity to build one-to-one relationships with key people.”
