Foodex

Foodex, the leading exhibition for the food and drink processing sector has been gaining increasing support from across the industry since its rebrand from Foodex Meatex in January. Leading trade associations for the sector including National Skills Academy for Food & Drink Manufacturing, Campden BRI and the International Agri-Technology Association have already pledged their support for the show and are providing top-level seminar content for the Foodex Business Briefing Theatre. These organisations recognise the value of Foodex to both their members and the food and drink sector as a whole. "In a recent poll, our members voted Foodex as the exhibition they are most likely to attend in the food and drink processing calendar. Foodex offers a comprehensive mix of exhibitors alongside informative content which is vital for keeping ahead of the game," commented Peter Moores, Head of Sales and Marketing, Food Processing Faraday Partnership. As well as industry-wide organisations, sector-specific associations, in line with the new ‘@Foodex’ sector branding have also pledged their support for Foodex including the Dairy UK, National Federation of Meat and Food Traders and the Provision Trade Federation. "Foodex is a vital event for everyone involved in meat processing and packaging. It is a meeting place for all the key players from the industry and allows the sharing of best practice and an opportunity to see exciting new innovations for improving efficiency. The BMPA is proud to support Foodex in 2010 and beyond," commented Stuart Roberts, Director, British Meat Processors Assocation. “The British Soft Drinks Association is pleased to support the rebranded Foodex 2010, which can now illustrate that it truly is the foremost exhibition for The entire food and drink processing and packaging market, providing suppliers to the soft drinks industry with an unmissable opportunity to build relationships with the UK’s key producers of soft drinks, fruit juices and bottled waters,” added Julia Broad, Training and Membership Manager, The British Soft Drinks Association. Foodex will continue to align itself with the UK’s leading trade associations from across the food and drink processing and packaging sector in order to attract the highest calibre visitors and provide leading-edge business information via the Foodex Live and Foodex Business Briefing Theatre feature areas. Foodex takes place from 21-24 March 2010 at Birmingham’s NEC and combines with Food & Drink Logistics Show, Baking Industry Exhibition, Food & Drink Expo, Convenience Retailing Show, Café+@CRS, Off Licence Show and IFFE, giving visitors a complete overview of the food and drink supply chain.
