Why UK Hospitality Suppliers Should Exhibit All Year Round

For hospitality suppliers, getting your products and services in front of the right buyers is essential.

Trade exhibitions have long provided an excellent opportunity to meet hospitality owners, operators, buyers and decision-makers. But what happens when the exhibition closes?

Your stand comes down, visitors go home and the opportunity to be discovered by new buyers can quickly diminish.

What if your business could continue exhibiting 24 hours a day, 365 days a year?

That’s the thinking behind the Chefandmanager UK Hospitality Suppliers Exhibition.

A Digital Hospitality Exhibition That Never Closes

The Chefandmanager UK Hospitality Suppliers Exhibition has been created to give suppliers an all year-round digital presence in front of the UK hospitality industry.

Instead of exhibiting for just a few days, your business can remain visible throughout the year to hospitality owners, operators, buyers and decision-makers looking for products and services.

The exhibition covers suppliers across:

  • Food and drink
  • Commercial kitchen equipment
  • Furniture and furnishings
  • Tableware and barware
  • Cleaning and hygiene
  • Technology and EPOS
  • Hotel and guest amenities
  • Professional services
  • Recruitment and training
  • Finance, insurance and legal services
  • Marketing and digital services
  • And many other hospitality sectors

One Supplier. One Category. No Direct Competition.

One of the biggest differences between the Chefandmanager exhibition and traditional supplier advertising is category exclusivity.

We allocate just one supplier to each individual product or service category nationwide.

That means your business isn’t displayed alongside a page full of direct competitors all competing for the same buyer’s attention.

Once your category has been secured, it is closed to your direct competitors for the duration of your subscription.

It gives participating suppliers a clearer, more prominent presence.

Reach Hospitality Businesses Across the UK

Being seen by the right audience matters more than simply generating impressions.

The Chefandmanager exhibition is promoted directly to a nationwide hospitality audience, including hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars, cafés, golf clubs, leisure businesses and other hospitality operators.

Each new edition is supported by targeted promotion to 140,000+ UK hospitality businesses, buyers and decision-makers, together with ongoing digital and social media promotion.

The objective is straightforward: continually put participating suppliers in front of the businesses that could need their products or services.

More Than a Digital Advert

Exhibiting isn’t simply about placing your logo on a webpage.

Participating suppliers receive a substantial presence designed to introduce their business properly to prospective hospitality buyers.

This includes a full-page interactive advertisement plus accompanying editorial, providing a two-page presence within all six bi-monthly digital editions.

Interactive links can take interested buyers directly to your website and email address, helping turn exposure into genuine engagement.

Six Editions Plus 24/7 Exposure

New editions of the exhibition are published every two months, providing six digital editions over 12 months.

But your exposure doesn’t stop between editions.

The online exhibition continues 24/7 throughout the year, creating an ongoing destination where hospitality businesses can discover suppliers whenever they are actively looking for products or services.

Supporting Your Google Visibility

Participating suppliers can also benefit from a dedicated category webpage designed to help build online visibility for both the exhibition and the businesses featured within it.

As the exhibition continues to expand, these individual supplier categories create an increasingly comprehensive online resource for the UK hospitality industry.

This means your participation isn’t limited to one advertising campaign or one exhibition date. It forms part of a growing, searchable digital platform.

Complement Your Existing Marketing

The Chefandmanager exhibition isn’t intended to replace trade shows, your own website, social media, email marketing or other advertising.

It can complement them.

A physical exhibition can deliver concentrated exposure over several days. Social media can generate immediate awareness. Your website provides your permanent online home.

The Chefandmanager UK Hospitality Suppliers Exhibition adds something different: continuous, targeted, category-exclusive exposure to the hospitality industry throughout the year.

Could Your Business Own Its Category?

The Chefandmanager UK Hospitality Suppliers Exhibition is now live and exclusive supplier categories are being allocated across the UK.

Our current special launch offer provides a 12-month subscription for £500 — normally £1,200, saving £700.

That’s less than £1.40 per day for year-round exposure.

But the most important element is exclusivity.

ONE supplier. ONE category. No direct competition.

Once a category is secured, it is no longer available to a direct competitor for the subscription period.

If you supply products or services to the UK hospitality industry, now is the time to see whether your category is still available.
