“Being trade only is a great advantage, it means you can get down to business a bit quicker and I think that is what the industry needs,” said Tim Cox, drinks innovation manager, Costa Express.


“It’s so helpful when everyone’s in one room, there’s people here from all over the world and from all over the UK. And whether it’s people you haven’t met before or people you have met before, it’s just a good opportunity to say hi. I think once you’ve met in person, dealing with people remotely is then so much easier having just actually put a face to the name. Looking forward to next year,” commented David Abrahamovitch, CEO and founder, Grind. “People are actually looking for stuff, they want to come up and talk to u s and find out what’s going on i n the industry and what w e can provide for them,” revealed Ross Clark national account executive,Matt
