Trade show a rare opportunity for Great Southern hospitality businesses

Hospitality businesses have been invited to seize an opportunity to speak directly to suppliers at a free hospitality industry trade show in Albany on Tuesday. Food manufacturers, importers and local producers will be among the 40 industry providers at the show, along with local training organisations, financial and business services, kitchenware and electrical suppliers. The hospitality industry trade show, to be held at Retravision Stadium, has been organised by Grande Food Service general manager Daniel Till. He said the event would allow businesses to “showcase food innovation”. “It’s an opportunity if you’re a business in the hospitality industry to come along and discover how to make the most of the summer ahead and these times,” he said. “With product innovation there are always new recipe ideas and new value-added products.” He said such trade shows were usually held in big cities like Melbourne or Sydney. “I don’t even think Perth has had one for the past six years,” he said. “It’s a unique thing to have this in a regional area and a lot of our suppliers — who are coming from all over Australia — are very excited to see something like this happening in the industry. “It’s an amazing opportunity to have this locally so we’ve extended an invitation to all our customers from Kojonup, Katanning, Bremer Bay and Denmark as well.” Businesses can register online by contacting Grande Food Service or visiting bit.ly/3dBvNGR.
