SUMMARY:Central South Food & Drink Trade EXPO 2027 – Exhibitors
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\nYour personal introduction to dozens of food, drink, hospitality and retail buyers and influencers\nThe Central South Food & Drink Trade EXPO is an exciting opportunity for you, as a regional producer to meet with hundreds of influential food, drink, hospitality and retail buyers in a showcase of Central South produce.\nIt’s an opportunity to meet face-to-face with buyers, to chat with them, to share your story, and most importantly for them to see and taste your produce.\nOur region is one of the UK’s leading foodie destinations, with its success driven in no small part by you – our network of amazing regional producers. We know you’re passionate about quality, locality, provenance, sustainability, and ethical practices – and these are increasingly the drivers for buying decisions for supermarkets, farm shops, eateries, chefs, hotels and delis.\nThe EXPO is a one-location event designed to make introductions simple, to provide an opportunity for you to foster relationships, and of course to secure commercial contracts that are right for your business.\nExhibitors will showcase their own products with space around their stand for your display and tastings.\nContact details and your logo are listed on the Business South website along with a link to your own site and an EXPO social media design for you to share on our own platforms.\nLet us have a social media video about your produce and we’ll also share that as part of our own pre-event social campaigns, and will include producers in as much campaign marketing and comms as possible.\nOur Taste of the Central South awards recognise and celebrate the very best food and drink producers in the Central South region. Exhibitors will have a chance to vye for an array of awards that cover everything from the best brand and packaging to passion behind the product and the taste of the region.\nHampshire Fare members 20% discount on stands is available until 1st December 2026\n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”pink”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1704886636071{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” el_class=”event-speaker”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″]Speakers TBC[vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/Xv9hM1XA6NA?si=OHPSaawWy8B51cAF” css=””][vc_text_separator title=”Event Downloads” title_align=”separator_align_left” align=”align_right” color=”custom” accent_color=”#ec297b”]#default-btn-a97e967063eaedd3ee09e2b28eda5fa1.ico-right-side > i {\n  margin-right: 0px;\n  margin-left: 8px;\n}\n#default-btn-a97e967063eaedd3ee09e2b28eda5fa1 > i {\n  margin-right: 8px;\n}2026 Full Event Gallery[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid css=”” grid_id=”vc_gid:1781525095408-cf9c6783-3891-8″ include=”49556,49475,49543,49492,49550,49514,49545,49587,49551″][vc_text_separator title=”Exhibitors” title_align=”separator_align_left” align=”align_right” color=”custom” css=”” accent_color=”#ec297b”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1704886636071{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”48433″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” css=”” el_class=”event-speaker”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″]Cavendish Ship Stores[vc_column_text css=””]Formed in 1978, Cavendish has gained an enviable reputation for quality and reliability in the wholesale supply of food and drink products to most of the major cruise and ferry lines, merchant fleets, as well as to the military and overseas retail customers.\nhttp://cavendishfoods.co.uk/home/ ( http://cavendishfoods.co.uk/home/ )[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1704886636071{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”48432″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” css=”” el_class=”event-speaker”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″]Comax UK[vc_column_text css=””]Established in 1992, Comax UK is one of the largest wholesalers in the South, specialising in commercial janitorial, catering and care products, we are committed to offering sustainable solutions.\nhttps://www.comaxuk.com/ ( https://www.comaxuk.com/ )[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1704886636071{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”49150″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_border” css=”” el_class=”event-speaker”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″]Hampshire Fare[vc_column_text css=””]Celebrating our amazing food, drink and artisan talent.
