With a wealth of experience within our team of industry professionals we work closely with you from the time of booking to arriving at the show. We will endeavour to make the whole experience run smoothly.

We promote the show through direct mail, email, online & social media campaigns, advertising in key trade publications, local and national press coverage, telephone calls to buyers and face-to-face promotion at many UK events. You can benefit from this extensive promotional campaign, as well as the show days themselves, and raise awareness of your company and products to thousands of influential and decision making trade buyers.

It’s your chance to showcase your products and services to decision makers from:

  • Food service and hospitality; caterers, cafés, guest houses, hotels and restaurants to holiday parks, takeaways and pubs.
  • Retail outlets; delicatessens to farm shops and grocers, supermarkets to tourist attractions and independent stores.
  • The public sector; from institutes such as schools, colleges and hospitals.

‘Book your stand with Confidence’ Covid-19 guarantee

We recognise how hard it is to plan ahead with financial confidence at the moment. We appreciate that you want to minimise risk, when marketing budgets have been cut and every penny counts.You need to book into trade shows, to meet new customers and show off your latest products and services, but what happens if there’s a local lockdown and the show is postponed? None of us can insure against local Covid-19 related lockdowns.

Book into one of our 2021 trade shows and we will limit your risk, in the case of a government enforced Covid-related postponement, to a maximum of 10% of your stand cost. We will offer this guarantee right up until the day before the show is due to open.

And in the case of a Covid-19 related postponement, we are also offering the transfer of the total of any deposit you have paid, to the next edition of the show, as an alternative.

You will of course need your own insurance to cover all other eventualities, as we cannot help with any other expenses you may incur should such a Covid-19 postponement occur, but we hope this helps you book into our 2021 trade shows, with confidence.
