Foodex Manufacturing Solutions, organised by William Reed, has appointed Joe Brammall as commercial director.
The UK trade show focuses on food and drink processing, packaging, and logistics, attracting manufacturers of all sizes and showcasing developments from across the globe. The event is held every two years.
Brammall joins Foodex after nearly 12 years at William Reed’s exhibitions division. He started in 2014 as a sales executive and most recently served as commercial manager for the National Convenience Show and Forecourt Show.
Foodex Manufacturing Solutions is scheduled to take place at the NEC Birmingham from 12 to 14 April 2027 as part of the UK Food & Drink Shows umbrella event.
The UK Food & Drink Shows 2026 will take place at the NEC Birmingham from 13 to 15 April and will comprise four events. These are the Food & Drink Expo, Farm Shop & Deli Show, the National Convenience Show and Forecourt Show.
Brammall said: “I look forward to creating an event that reflects the sector’s ambition and addresses its most pressing challenges—from sustainability and automation to workforce development and navigating complex legislation.”
