lunch! scoops third Best Trade Show award

lunch! added another industry title to its mantle after winning Best Trade Show at the annual Exhibition News Awards ceremony last month.

Already a firm favourite with thousands of food-to-go manufacturers, suppliers, retailers and buyers, lunch! has also proved popular with exhibition industry judges.  Having already won Best Marketing Campaign of the Year 2012 and two Best UK Trade Show Exhibition under 2,000sqm (2010 and 2011) at the Association of Event Organisers (AEO) Excellence Awards.

“We are thrilled to have won Best Trade Show for lunch! 2013,” comments a delighted Chris Brazier, the show’s group event manager.  “It is such an honour for the whole Diversified team particularly when you consider the competition within this category!  One of lunch!’s real strengths has always been its niche, boutique appeal, so for it to win against such established – and much bigger – events really is an enormous achievement and a real recognition of the impact that lunch! has made within the industry.”

“We talk about lunch!’s fantastic buzz and unique atmosphere every year but it really was incredible for 2013,” says marketing manager Grace Allwright, who has worked on the award-winning show since 2009.  “lunch! draws its inspiration from the industry it serves – so we are delighted to share this award with all the extraordinarily dedicated, innovative individuals and companies that keep the lunch market moving forward.  Huge thanks must go to our show partners, exhibitors and visitors for their fantastic support in helping to make lunch! the wonderful success it is.”

There’s no time for the lunch! team to rest on their laurels however, as visitor registration is already open for the 2014 event.  For more details, please visit www.eventdata.co.uk/Visitor/Lunch.aspx?TrackingCode=PR.
