Trade Show 2015 – A Review in Pictures

A big thank you for all of our customers ( and perhaps potential customers ) who came out to attend our annual Trade Show and Exhibition at Springfields in Spalding yesterday. We had an excellent turn out from both suppliers and customers alike. Our new “Black + White Coffee Co” stand was buzzing all day, and it wasn’t just the free, barista-made espresso either!  We hope you enjoyed yourselves at the event, and if you have not yet attended; these images prove testament that next year it’s a “must do” on your catering calendar.
