Casual Dining 2014 wows exhibitors

Some testimonials are just too good not to share - that's the verdict from the Casual Dining team, which has released further results from its 2014 post-show surveys.

Casual Dining 2014 featured 118 founding exhibitors.  Of those surveyed, 92% rated the launch show as excellent/good.  Here's what a few big names had to say:

  

Nigel Phillips, National Sales Manager, Lamb Weston:
“Wow business, wow people, wow show.”

Andy Weir, Head of Marketing, Reynolds:
“Casual Dining was well planned, well executed and well attended.  A great achievement by the team at Diversified!”

Simon Smith, Eden Contract Furniture:
“Casual Dining 2014 was exceptional.  As a company, we were very impressed with the pre-show marketing and it certainly paid dividends with the quality of visitors. Great work from the Casual Dining team – keep it up!!!”

Chris Cope, True Food International:
“Casual Dining 2014 was a great opportunity for us to meet up with other industry leaders and share our experiences of one of the UK’s most dynamic foodservice markets. We can’t wait to return in 2015, where the show looks set to be even bigger and better.”

Angus McKenzie, Managing Director, Kimbo:
“Casual Dining promised something different. What we got was buyers and operators looking for authentic, innovative, imaginative ideas. It was our pleasure to spend two days doing what we do well, being appreciated and gaining new clients”

Chris Jarman-Brown, Global Development Manager, Purified Air Ltd:
“A great vibe, a great venue, a great show!”

Claudia Christensson, Events Executive, Nestlé Professional:
“Very friendly team and all extremely helpful! Great venue, fresh and quirky show!”

Simon V Matthews, National Account Manager, Whitakers Chocolates Ltd:
“An excellent first show with fantastic potential for the future – really relevant!”

Karl Hodgson, UK Sales Director, Adande:
“The Casual Dining show is a breath of fresh air.  People say, shows are not the thing to do, but how can you show off new products without people seeing, touching and feeling, only at shows.  Casual Dining was a winner for Adande!”

Robert Whittle, General Manager, Pidy UK Limited:
“We had a great time at this new show. Once again the Diversified team have hit on a good theme and location for the show…but best of all for me – quality visitors. Nice one guys!!”

David Green, London Velvet:
“Casual Dining delivered on every level. We were able to engage with both independent free trade operators and large restaurant and pub groups alike, a perfect visitor mix.”

John Pinder, Managing Director, Lynx Purchasing:
“The Casual Dining show was an excellent forum for us. Our core target customers are busy single sites or small groups within the hospitality sector, and we found that the show attracted a large number of high calibre visitors within that target market. We’re certainly looking forward to being at the 2015 Casual Dining Show.”
