Why Food & Drink Logistics Show?
In 2008 William Reed Business Media held the UK's largest trade gathering of food and drink professionals, and for 2010 our aspirations are even higher, with brand new shows including Off Licence Show and, of course the Food & Drink Logistics Show. The visitor base is formed of the highest quality decision makers from key players across the industry; that have real spending power.
