More than 75 suppliers showcase products at Brakes Foodie Expo 25

Brakes has launched Foodie Expo 25, two interactive exhibitions where food businesses can sample food, see chef demonstrations of on-trend food, and hear about the latest developments in food cuisine across the world.

The first event took place on 27 March at the Concorde Conference Centre near Manchester Airport, and the second Expo will be held on 30 April at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol.

More than 75 food suppliers are showcasing their products at each event, and Brakes is also presenting products from across its entire range, alongside fresh produce specialists Fresh Direct and food-to-go firm Country Choice.

Live cooking demos from chefs and category specialists are led by The Chef meets the Fishmonger, from whom customers can get inspiration on incorporating fresh fish and produce into springtime dishes. There is also a seminar on Ways to Save With Meat, and the MSC is giving customers an understanding of this seafood accreditation scheme.

Paul Nieduszynski, CEO of Sysco GB, said: “Our Food Expos have grown massively over the past couple of years and are fast becoming one of the highlights of the calendar. Bringing Sysco’s British businesses together in one place, supported by more than 75 suppliers, gives customers a real opportunity to understand how we can help them build amazing menus.

“Unlike traditional trade shows, customers can order any of the products on display at the Expo and have them in their kitchen on the next delivery, making an immediate impact on the menu.”
