Leading foodservice buying group Caterforce has this week (4th July) launched ticket sales for its biannual Supplier Conference held at Celtic Manor on Thursday 16th November 2017.

The conference, which is in its 4th edition, is aimed at bringing foodservice suppliers face to face with Caterforce buyers and its members.

Following the groups exciting growth which has taken turnover to over £500m, this integral event in the industry calendar will offer the opportunity for suppliers to find out about Caterforce’s recent performance and its plans for the future as well as learning more about the opportunities for working with one of the UK’s leading foodservice buying groups.

Delegates will hear from a range of figures from within the group as well as some exciting guest speakers, including sporting legend, Kris Akabusi.

“We look forward to this event as not only can we talk to suppliers and potential suppliers about the benefits of working together but we can also offer our members and suppliers the latest insights into trends and challenges facing the foodservice industry.”

Delegates at the one day event will enjoy an evening dinner and reception hosted by renowned comedian Alun Cochrane offering suppliers and Caterforce members further opportunity to network.
