The Source Trade Roadshow heads to Bristol

The Source Trade Roadshow is hitting road, and will be heading to Bristol’s Ashton Gate Stadium on the 18th June 2020. The Source Trade Roadshow will see organisers Hale Events work with Taste of the West and the British Association of Restaurants, Bars and Independent Establishments (BARBIE), to bring together regional, artisanal products and give producers the chance to share knowledge and experience with buyers. 

Mike Anderson, managing director at organises Hale Events, said, “Bristol has a thriving independent food sector, with a focus on local, organic and ethical produce, so it’s perfect for us to connect more regional producers to. We want to help Bristol buyers try, taste and test even more of the best produce that the South West has to offer. Trade shows offer a unique marketing medium in today’s digital world. Their face to face nature enables long-term trusting relationships to be built. They are engaging and in a market like food and drink, events like this are a great way to compare the competition.”

John Sheaves, Taste of the West’s chief executive added, “Taste of the West is absolutely delighted to support the new Source Roadshow in Bristol, being one of the key cities and therefore markets for high quality food and drink in the South West. This is a truly exciting venture that takes quality, high integrity products right into the heart of Bristol where producers will be able to share their knowledge and expertise with buyers from the city, and for us having the same Source trade show skills and expertise behind the venture provides us with great confidence.”
