The members included: Blakemore Foodservice, EFG Foodservice and Turner Price. The Group provides over 800 products, all developed exclusively for professional caterers under the Country Range brand.
The exhibition saw over 100 foodservice brands showcase and run interactive demonstrations to over 500 attendees.
Martin Ward, Country Range Group’s trading director, said: “Our annual exhibition forms an integral part of our sales and marketing plans and is a fantastic way to get suppliers and members all under the same roof to highlight, discuss and promote the latest products, techniques and innovation on show.
“The event grows year on year and provides great opportunities to food and drink producers of all sizes to generate UK-wide business, which is highlighted by the record amount of orders generated on the day. Roll on Manchester next year!”
A conference session took place for the delegates before a presentation from guest speaker Bonita Norris – the youngest person to stand at both tops of the world and one of the UK’s leading adventurers.
The 'hugely beneficial' day was then completed with a 3-course Gala Dinner, which was hosted by writer, actor and creator Jonny Cochrane. A 70s theme plus a performance from the Abba tribute act Björn Again finished the evening.
