Abstract
lunch!, the UK's only trade show dedicated to the food-to-go market, has scooped the best trade show accolade at this year's AEO's Excellence Awards ceremony.
Organisers Diversified Business Communications UK Ltd picked up the Best Exhibition Under 2,000m2 award, ahead of rivals E-Health Media, UBM Live, William Reed Business Media, and Reed Exhibitions.
Diversified UK was the only company this year to receive a multiple nomination in the category, which meant the organiser's complementary, natural and integrated healthcare show – camexpo – also won a finalist award for its second year running.
The awards celebrate achievements by organisers, venues, suppliers and contractors throughout the exhibition and event industry.
The judges said: "An incredible demonstration of real empathy with their buyer and seller community enabled our winner to deliver a fantastic and valued event where others have failed."
Commenting on the award, Madeleine Johnson, lunch!'s event manager, added: "Winning the Best Exhibition award is a fantastic reflection of how quickly lunch! has become the essential event for the vibrant out of home food and drink community and a brilliant reward for the team who have committed themselves to representing the industry. It is an amazing achievement for an exhibition that has only taken place twice to be endorsed as the best exhibition in the UK!."
lunch! is free to attend for pre-registered trade visitors, for further information please visit www.lunchshow.co.uk.
The show will be returning for its third year to Old Billingsgate, London, on 30 September-1 October.
