Taste of the West Trade Show Food and drink trade: get the Source exhibition and Taste of the West Trade Show in your 2010 diary now. The annual trade-only Taste of the West exhibition in Exeter holds a unique place in the market for exhibitors to meet buyers interested in sourcing products from right here in the South West. For buyers – to complement the established trade show – an even more diverse selection of producers will be present this year thanks to the introduction of the Source exhibition, which will run alongside the show at the same location, enabling buyers to satisfy their local, British and international sourcing needs, all in one place. Of the sister shows, organiser Mike Anderson said, ‘With a 30% increase in footfall last year, we look forward to the incorporation of Source to provide an even better and broader mix of food and related exhibitors, while being very conscious of maintaining the quality mix and emphasis on unique and passionate South West food and drink producers.’ Both events are taking place on Monday and Tuesday April 19-20, 2010 at Westpoint, Exeter, and potential customers and suppliers attending the shows will range from small delis through to some of the UK’s largest supermarkets. www.sourceexhibition.co.uk
