At the Scottish event there will be more than 70 stands allowing customers to talk to a range of suppliers as well as sample food, drink and catering supplies in one place. At the Birmingham event customers will be able to experience similar demonstrations with the addition of specialist care and education presentations.

Paul Nieduszynski, Sysco GB chief executive, said: “Last year, we launched our first major live events since the pandemic and the feedback was excellent. There’s nothing like being able to see, smell and taste food to help make decisions on menus. This year we’ve expanded the Foodie Expo to include live demonstrations so that we can provide practical examples of how products can be used in kitchens.”
