Expowest Cornwall attracts more than 2,000 visitors

by EN

Hale Events has claimed a 10 per cent rise in exhibitors at Expowest Cornwall at the Royal Cornwall Showground, despite the recent floods and storms in the area.

More than 160 exhibitors showcased products covering the whole of the hospitality and catering market; from tableware and furniture, catering equipment and services, to coffee and speciality food products on 4-6 March.

The organiser said more than 2,000 buyers attended the show, and were serenaded by the Wadebridge Shipwrecks as Expowest Cornwall coincided with St Piran’s Day, the national day of Cornwall.

New to 2014, the Demo Corner presented a mix of demonstrations from professional chefs and business-focused talks.

The Facebook Workshop and the Hospitality & Tourism Tips Workshop returned to the show, with chefs including James Strawbridge from the Posh Pasty Co, Adrian Oliver from Margot’s Bistro and The Hospitality Sourcerer Steve Durham showing off their skills on stage.

Hale Events said that with Expowest Cornwall taking place well before Easter, it was well timed to bring businesses up to date with all the latest innovations and developments ready for the start of the tourism season.

Next year’s show will take place on 3-5 March 2015.

Last year, Hale Events promoted Mike Anderson to managing director.
