There will be some of the biggest buyers in the business visiting, with nearly a third of pre-registered visitors citing a corporate spend in excess of £1m (16% report £10m-plus budgets).
The keynote speaker line-up consists of 62 speakers including Simon Stenning founder of FutureFoodservice.com and Jim Cathcart policy director at UKHospitality.
There are expected to be over 400 exhibiting companies with 100 of these expected to enter this year’s Lunch! Innovation Challenge awards, which recognise the best food-to-go products. In 2018 gold awards were given to Flower & White, Generationjuice, Kaleido, Pocket Enterprises and Sandows.
Jim Wealands, group food development director at CH&CO Group, said: “With food on the move growing all the time, it’s important to see what’s new and on offer.
“Lunch! is a great event to do that and meet industry leaders, start-ups, disruptors and those bringing new and exciting products to the market.”
The two-day event is free to attend for pre-registered trade visitors. Advance online registration closes at 9.30am tomorrow (19 September), after which a £20 door charge may apply.
