Country Range to hold exhibition and conference on 9 June

Country Range Group is to hold its annual exhibition and conference at Telford International Centre on 9 June. 

Not only will it be the group’s first annual exhibition since the pandemic struck but it will also be an opportunity for the CRG member wholesalers to come together to celebrate the group’s 30th anniversary year.

More than 300 member delegates are due to attend along with over 200 suppliers, who will be promoting their brands and providing interactive demonstrations and menu inspiration.

Following the exhibition, CRG will host a conference session that will focus on achievements of the last 30 years, as well as ambitious plans for the future of the group.

A special gala dinner and masquerade-themed ball will include a raffle raising funds for Hospitality Action. This is part of the group’s 30th anniversary goal of raising £100,000 during 2022. The money raised will be split between Hospitality Action and local causes aligned with the 12 independent wholesalers that make up the Country Range Group and the central office.

Martin Ward, Country Range Group commercial director, said: “Our exhibition and conference is a key date in the calendar for members and suppliers. What has been incredibly important throughout the pandemic is the communication and collaboration between the group, its members and suppliers, so we’re thrilled to be bringing everyone together to the Telford International Centre for what’s sure to be a fantastic day and night.

“The annual exhibition is the chance for our member delegates to be educated and inspired by our supplier exhibitors, where there are plenty of deals to be done, while our evening gala dinner and masquerade-themed ball will allow people to let their hair down a little.”
