The Producer & New Supplier Showcase will give exhibitors from Food, Drink & Hospitality Week, which comprises IFE, HRC, IFE Manufacturing, Hospitality Tech360 and The Pub Show, the chance to pitch their products and services to a panel of Aramark’s foodservice experts for potential supply opportunities across the company’s UK and Ireland network.
Stephen Brennan, vice president of supply chain & procurement at Aramark UK & IRL, said: “This will be the third occasion the ‘Dragons’ Den-style’ showcase has featured as part of a busy three days at ExCeL London.
“This initiative has proved hugely valuable for Aramark UK, helping us make connections with dynamic British and international businesses, socially driven start-ups and passionate, diverse companies. Many of these businesses have gone on to be mentored by the Aramark team and have become an integral part of our supply chain.
“The Sausage Man, Freddie’s Farm and Truffle Hunter are just some of the companies we continue to work with today after meeting through this event. We would welcome anyone exhibiting in 2026 to apply to be part of this showcase and stand a chance of developing business with the UK’s fastest-growing contract caterer.”
Following an initial review of applications, shortlisted suppliers will be invited to pitch live to the Aramark UK panel of directors, buyers, operations and culinary leaders at the Producer & New Supplier Showcase in March 2026.
Successful suppliers will then begin the process of onboarding their products into the Aramark Foodservice business. To find out more and apply to enter, visit here.
