In exclusive partnership with the Catering Equipment Suppliers Association (CESA), the show is set to welcome more than 100 exhibitors to its catering equipment hub.
Keith Warren, CESA director said: “The Hospitality Show is the biggest in its calendar year and a real highlight for our members. In 2013, CESA will be celebrating 75 years of information, involvement and influence – a legacy that we are keen to uphold at the show.
“Our members this year are taking 10% more space this year and are delighted that the Hospitality Show is continuing to evolve and grow, without losing its core business ethos. The successful development of the Innovation Zone is evidence of this.”
The Foodservice Consultants’ Society International (FCSI - UK & Ireland) will also be hosting a day-long event at the show, including an address from Jan Matthews, who headed the catering, cleaning and waste operations for the London Olympic Organising Committee (LOCOG). She plans to take a retrospective look at the games.
Toby Wand, managing director at Fresh Montgomery, said: “With a host of brand new exhibitors the Hospitality Show will provide visitors access to the most comprehensive overview of the market – including the very latest innovations and the widest selection of products for the professional kitchen.
“The Hospitality Show really will be the only place in 2013 that you will find such a comprehensive mix of the latest, most innovative professional kitchen solutions under one roof. With a host of products that could change your business for the better, we’re looking forward to welcoming visitors to Birmingham for an invaluable snapshot of the market.”
Tickets have also gone on sale for the Catering Equipment Networking Dinner in association with CEDA, CESA and FCSI, the Hospitality Show’s marquee networking event for those working within the catering equipment industry.
The dinner, which takes place on Tuesday, January 22 at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole, will be attended by celebrity chef Brian Turner, with a special guest appearance by Adam Bennett, Team UK’s representative at this year’s Bocuse d’Or.
