lunch! to celebrate its 10th anniversary at ExCel London
In the two weeks span since registration started, nearly 1,500 visitors and VIP buyers have already registered to attend.
The move to ExCeL marks a new development for the multi-award winning show, which is widely regarded as the premier trade event for the UK’s hugely competitive food-to-go market (across all day parts).
Chris Brazier, lunch!’s group event director, said that it’s a very exciting time for the show.
“The move to ExCeL has generated a lot of interest and enthusiasm from across the food-to-go sector,” said Brazier.
“It’s a testament to the show’s continuing success, and demonstrates just how important lunch! has become to suppliers and buyers looking to do business here.”
lunch! has just confirmed exclusive Keynotes with Roger Whiteside, CEO of bakery and food-to-go giant Greggs, and Andrew Walker, chief executive of EAT. They’ll both be making a welcome return to the show’s line-up, having previously appeared in 2015 and 2013 respectively.
Walker, who will host an opening day keynote, has been a frequent visitor to lunch! over the year. He says the show helps them keep abreast of developments, and has called it “the premier place for food retailers to get an insight into all the food innovation that is happening across the country.”
Whiteside, one of the biggest names in the UK’s food-to-go market, also found lunch! extremely valuable.
Visitor registration is now open for lunch! 2017, which will take place at the new venue of ExCeL London on 21-22 September.
