BevExpo 2016
The first BevExpo, held 15th & 16th June at Manchester Central, has been declared a success by exhibitors and visitors. With over 80 exhibitors, 30 seminar presentations, a bar showcasing an array of British beverages and much more, BevExpo offered a platform for delegates and exhibitors to improve and make new connections, discover the latest innovative developments and develop their businesses.
On the 15th June BBPA, BEA, IBD and SIBA joined forces to present in the Founding Partner Auditorium. Presenting under a theme of “Packaging – the vessel that transports a beverage into a brand”, a number of industry experts educated delegates on the hot topics in packaging.
In Exchange Hall over 30 presenters spoke about the newest and most innovative developments and topics in the beverage industry. From trends in the markets to point of sale, the entire supply chain was covered. All presentations were complimentary for delegates and proved a popular feature of the exhibitor.
Holchem’s Mike McHardy stated: “We had a very successful two days at BevExpo and it was great to be able to meet up with existing and potential new customers and exhibit Holchem’s product and service solutions across the beverage industry. It was interesting to see so much innovation and what products will soon be available to customers.”
