"The UK Food & Drink Shows are such a fantastic networking opportunity, there's just nowhere else in the country where so many suppliers, retailers, trade bodies and industry experts are under one roof."

~ Aidan Fortune, Editor, Convenience Store

"I think The UK Food & Drink Shows are very, very important for independent retailers such as myself. You get to have a day out, you get to meet a new suppliers, you get to meet fellow retailers, you get to know about new NPD’s. And it also gives you a fresh perspective of things that you could bring into your store."

~ Sunita Aggarwal, Director, Spar Hackenthorpe 

"You walk around these halls today and you really do get a sense of innovation, investment, new ideas and energy. And these shows are organised in such a brilliant way, bringing together so many great brands, so many great ideas and so much great information."

~ Andrew Goodacre, CEO, British Independent Retailers Association

"The benefits of attending The UK Food & Drink Shows is you can sample everything here. You can see it, right in front of you. You can pick it up, you can try it. You can test it. And I think that is one of the greatest benefits of attending this lovely show."

~ Saeed Noorani, Operations Manager, Sharma Garages

"I think it's important to come to these shows because you don't even know what's out there. You could be a retailer for a really long time and you try to keep up, but there's always something you miss out on. So these shows are important because they just bring everything together for you."

~ Varidhi Yadav, Retail Manager, Krishna 7 Ltd

"The UK Food & Drink Shows is a fantastic place where we are able to get inspiration. We came along to get an understanding of what's happening in the market and understand the trends so we can advise our partners about what's hot at the moment.
