IFE 2017 What the Industry Says
www.ife.co.uk @IFEexhibition #IFE19
Visitors
“It’s an ideal opportunity to see new to market products and get a feel for it. Much more tactical to see and touch the
product than reading about it in the media.”
Tim Howard, Food & Drink Development Manager, The National Trust
““What an absolutely amazing day at @
IFEexhibition. So many amazing products & brands, felt so invigorated amongst all the fab innovations
#IFE17”@foodguideclaire
““IFE has been great to visit – great range of things to see and such a passionate selection of exhibitors sampling and talking
about their products.“
Tammy Butterworth, Global R&D Manager, Pepsico
““Great launch pad for our new brands. Terrific contacts
made and great opportunities.”
Simon Wales, Operations Manager, Trustin Foods UK Ltd.
““IFE is an excellent platform for a versatile company like
ours, as it attracts visitors from every food sector. We saw a strong visitor attendance from important and upcoming export markets, which – in light of Brexit – cannot be unwelcome for
players in the British food sector.”
Jan Robijns, Business Development Manager, NatantonioLtd.
““We had a very good event with well organised staff. It was
very nice to have the team members coming over to check if our requirements were met.”
Teggie Phillips,Partner, Raginis Mauritian Curry Powder
““IFE 2017 has been a great opportunity for us to present in
the UK. The reaction from the market has been very positive, and we are already developing new commercial relationships and leads. We decided to book a larger and central location for
2019.“
Cristian Czar, UK Distributor, BeeBad Energy Drink
“Exhibitors
“IFE was absolutely mind blowing for us! We launched only 3 months before the show and met several major UK
and EU retailers. Meetings followed and only 6 months later we are launching nationwide into our first UK supermarket.
This wouldn’t have happened without IFE’s power of attraction for buyers and excellent organisation.”
Charlotte Dauzat, Founder, GATO & Co
