7th October 2010, 9:38am

The organisers of lunch! have reported a 24% increase in attendance for the third year of its food-to-go trade show.

Over 3000 attendees, including the senior decision-makers from the UK's £11.3bn out of home food and drinks sector, visited the show to do business with over 160 of manufacturers and suppliers at Old Billingsgate, London, on Thursday 30 September and Friday 1 October.

Carsten Holm, managing director of lunch!, is delighted by the positive feedback received so far from visitors and exhibitors:  "Rarely have I witnessed such a successful and positive show.  Everyone enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and focused business environment, and everyone went away buzzing with new business ideas."

Exhibitor Tanya Brittain from The Phat Pasty Co hailed the show a huge success: "If we wrote a wish list of the people we would like to meet at lunch! to approach with our brand – we have certainly ticked all the boxes.  

"There are senior people from all the major players here.  I have a five hour journey home after the show ends and I will have a big smile on my face – it has been brilliant."

lunch! will return to Old Billingsgate, London, on 29-30 September 2011.
