Source supports emerging trade businesses with special show discounts

June 8, 2026

Our Newcomers are the rising stars of food & drink — the businesses bringing fresh products, new flavours, and new ideas to the trade. This feature is always a buyer favourite because it makes discovery easy: they can meet suppliers that they won’t have seen on the circuit before, taste something genuinely new, and get a head start on the competition.

The Newcomers rate is a lower-cost way to take your first step into B2B, launch into wholesale, and open new accounts with hospitality, retail, and foodservice buyers – with plenty of support from our team along the way.

To join our Newcomer’s area you must be within your first two years of trading and have never participated in a trade show before (although you may have taken part at farmers markets or other consumer events or be selling direct to consumer now). You can be based anywhere in the UK.

There are two stand size options available (2m x 1.5m or 4m x 1.5m), and as a Newcomer you get extra show promotion and some electrics included (stand price on application).

If you’re interested in finding out more, please contact the Sales Team on 01934 733433, fill in our booking contact form, or email us at [email protected].
