lunch! nominated for Best Trade Show award!
lunch! – the UK’s premier trade event for the out of home food and drink industry – is hoping its winning streak continues into 2012 after picking up a prestigious Best Trade Show nomination for this year’s annual Exhibition News awards.
Since its launch in 2008, lunch!, which is organised by Brighton-based Diversified Business Communications UK, has enjoyed growing industry prominence and support. 2011 was a record-breaking year for the event, culminating in a 41% increase in total attendance, an 87% rise in international visitors, 42% more exhibitors, plus a best UK trade show award from the Association of Event Organisers (AEO) for the second consecutive time. Whilst 2012 has already heralded the prospective announcement of a sold out 5thanniversary show, with just a handful of stands still remaining seven months out from opening day.
Chris Brazier, lunch!’s event manager, is delighted with the nomination: “One of lunch!’s real strengths has always been its niche, boutique appeal, so for it to be shortlisted amongst such established – and much bigger – shows really is an enormous achievement for the team at Diversified and a real recognition of the impact that lunch!’s made within the industry in just a few years.”
The Exhibition News awards, which recognise talent and achievement across the exhibition industry, will take place at Olympia, London, on Thursday 29 March.
lunch! will take place at the Business Design Centre, Islington, London, on 20-21 September 2012. For further information, please visit www.lunchshow.co.uk.
