Lomond: The Wholesale Food Co is holding its first person-to-person trade show in May and it looks set to be an event to remember with record levels of attendance. It will be the first since the onset of the pandemic.
The Glasgow-based wholesaler, which was just named as Best Delivered Operation: Foodservice award by the Scottish Wholesale Association, will be showcasing products to existing and potential retail and foodservice customers as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations.
Taste@Lomond, which takes place on Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 May 2022, will be held in two marquees at Lomond’s Glasgow depot, both packed full of products and knowledgeable suppliers.
“The trade show is a fantastic opportunity for our customers to meet our suppliers, try new products and get one step ahead of their competition,” said Barbara Henderson, Director.
“Our suppliers don’t just bring the products they already have on offer, but new products that are in the pipeline so our customers get to see what’s new and what could offer them exciting new sales opportunities.”
There will also be a dedicated area of the show for locally sourced products – something that Lomond is passionate about.
“Supporting local Scottish producers and suppliers is a key focus for us,” said Barbara. “There is so much demand for locally sourced products and we’re delighted to already offer more than 3,000 Scottish products, but fully intend this to represent 50% of our whole range by the end of 2022.”
There are also plenty of show deals and discounts across the two days, as well as a prize draw for customers to win £1,000 credit to their account, plus a variety of other prizes.
