The day centred around maximising the food-to-go market as well as sessions on global trends, packaging innovation and effective display solutions.
During the event Fri-Jado chef Anwar Miah spoke about how Asian-influences and ‘Instagramable’ foods are crucial to attracting today’s consumer. Benn Ely, from ProAmpac Rap, talked about the importance of using the right packaging for the right products.
Attendees sampled a handful of the street-food-to-go trends discussed earlier in the day, before Gavin Rothwell, director of Food Future Insights concluded the day with a look at the future of the food-to-go sector.
Nick Bignell, hardware manager at Delice de France, said: “The customer day was a great example of delivering great expertise, allowing us to get a first-hand look at the very latest technology and innovative display solutions from the company.”
Following the success of the first customer day, Fri-Jado UK is already planning several more events which will take place throughout 2022.
Gary Thacker, director of national accounts at Fri-Jado UK, added: “We’re delighted with how our first customer day turned out and we’d like to say a big thanks to those attending.
“As the experts in food preparation and display equipment, we are committed to supporting our customers and operators to get the most from their food-to-go offering – coming together for events like this are an essential part of that.”
