WORLD-CLASS LONDON PRODUCE SHOW REACHES MILESTONE
UK’S FOREMOST BUYER-SUPPLIER NETWORKING EVENT CELEBRATES FIFTH ANNIVERSARY IN 2018
Representing every link in the fresh produce supply chain, the fifth-annual London Produce Show and Conference (LPS) wel- comed a host of exhibitors and attendees from all four cor-
ners of the globe when it convened June 6-8, to exchange ideas, make deeper connections and showcase new products.
Taking place once again at the Grosvenor House hotel on London’s renowned Park Lane, the LPS reached a five-year mile- stone in 2018 for proud organizers the Fresh Produce Consortium (FPC) and Produce Business magazine.
Over the past five years, the three-day event has evolved into the biggest gathering of global fresh fruit and vegetable buyers and suppliers on UK soil. So much so that the LPS is now an indus- try institution on the global produce calendar when attendees get to meet the right partners to drive their businesses forward.
The recent edition was no different, proving another hit with buyers and suppliers from the prelude conferences to the engag- ing breakfast panel, bustling trade exhibition, inspirational educa- tional seminars and lively chef demonstrations and the informa- tive industry tours on the closing day.
Intimate & Immersive
Combining business, networking and education in one of the world’s most iconic cities, the LPS18 again stood out for its inti- mate and immersive environment that gave exhibitors and visi- tors from across the world the unrivalled opportunity to network directly with international produce buyers from the retail, food- service and wholesale sectors.
Through a series of networking occasions and educational seminars, together with a one-day trade show and industry tours, the LPS18 was a veritable celebration of all things fresh produce during which attendees could create and strengthen business relationships.
Added to that, the LPS18 was honored to invite as its Show Ambassador Dr. Rupy Aujla — one of the most exciting new names on the health and food scene in the UK — who officially opened the one-day trade show and supported the event’s mis- sion to drive opportunities for the fresh produce industry.
As a London-based general practitioner and founder of popu- lar blog The Doctor’s Kitchen, Dr. Aujla is on a mission to inspire more people to eat nutrient-dense food, such as fresh fruits and vege- tables, by explaining the medicinal effects of eating well.
