Wholesaler Brakes to host Food Expo events in Manchester & Bristol

27 Mar 2025
Brakes has launched Food Expo 25, two interactive exhibitions where food businesses can sample food, watch chef demonstrations and hear about the latest developments in food cuisine across the world.

More than 75 food suppliers will be in attendance showcasing everything from drinks to snacks and plant-based to meat and fish protein as well as desserts, alcohol and non-food. Registration can be found on the Brakes’ website.

Brakes will be presenting products from across its entire range, alongside fresh produce specialists Fresh Direct and food-to-go leaders Country Choice. The Foodie Expos will take place on 27th March at the Concorde Conference Centre near Manchester Airport and on 30th April at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol.

There will be live cooking demonstrations from chefs and category specialists, led by The Chef meets the Fishmonger, where customers can get inspiration on incorporating fresh fish and produce into springtime dishes. The MSC will also be on hand to give customers an understanding of the seafood accreditation scheme.  

Also on the menu is a seminar on Ways to Save With Meat, helping customers deliver burgers without compromising on quality or taste, but helping with the cost.

Paul Nieduszynski, chief executive of Sysco GB, said: “Our Food Expos have grown massively over the past couple of years and are fast becoming one of the highlights of the calendar.

“Bringing Sysco’s British businesses together in one place, supported by more than 75 suppliers, gives customers a real opportunity to understand how we can help them build amazing menus. Unlike traditional trade shows, customers can order any of the products on display at the Expo and have them in their kitchen on the next delivery, making an immediate impact on the menu.”
