12 Welsh food and drink companies are preparing to attend the UK’s largest and most well respected food and drink trade exhibition.
Over 1200 exhibitors will be present at Food & Drink Expo in Birmingham next week (April 25-27, 2022), all looking to find new buyers and distributors.
Supported by the Welsh government, the Cymru/Wales stand, will this year feature 12 companies all looking to showcase their mouth-watering products and embed Wales’ place firmly on the food map.
The three-day event, which is held at the NEC in Birmingham is a biennial event, but due to the Covid pandemic the last event was in 2018.
All Welsh food and drink companies exhibiting under the Cymru/Wales brand receive support from the Welsh government, which enables them to have a presence at trade events such as Food & Drink Expo.
Lesley Griffiths MS, Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd said: “Our support allows producers to attend events such as Food & Drink Expo.
“It provides them with an excellent opportunity to interact directly with buyers and distributors and showcase the very best of Wales.
“Through long term vision and effort over the last decade we have achieved significant growth, a rising industry profile, and a strong team spirit based on partnership which has given us a firm foundation to build upon for the future.”
Welsh producers exhibiting will include Aber Falls Distillery, Cradoc’s Savoury Biscuits, Daioni Organic, Dylan’s, Llaeth y Llan/Village Dairy, Mario’s Ice Cream, Princes Gate Water Ltd, Terry’s Patisserie, Anglesey Sea Salt Company/Halen Môn, The Welsh Sausage Company Ltd, Ty Nant and South Caernarfon Creameries.
