7th September 2010, 12:03pm

Contract caterers including Aramark, BaxterStorey, Compass Group and Sodexo are all planning to attend this year's lunch! food-to-go trade show later this month.

The show has also reported it is 40% up on pre-registered visitors compared with the same time last year.

Other companies planning to visit include Charlton House Catering, Elior UK, House of Commons, Royal Navy, Royal Brompton Hospital and Welcome Break.

Carsten Holm, managing director of the show's organiser Diversified Business Communications UK, said: "What's perhaps even more impressive than sheer numbers alone is the exceptional quality of the attendees planning to visit. 

"We've got key buyers ranging from Harrods and Fortnum & Mason to all the major supermarkets and multiples, as well as the leading contract caterers, wholesalers and distributors. 

"In addition, a large number of specialist caterers have registered to attend, including many universities, hospitals, airlines, attractions and so on – plus, of course, hundreds of quality independents.  And we are still four weeks away from opening day. Anyone and everyone within the grab and go market is going to be here.  It's going to be a very busy show!"

In total, nearly 150 exhibitors will take part in lunch! 2010, where they will demonstrate  products, services and technologies, to over 3000 industry buyers from all the major food-to-go chains, supermarkets, contract caterers and quality independents.

The event will be taking place at Old Billingsgate, London, from 30 September to 1 October.
