• What were your impressions of the show? Vendex Midlands 2025 in Milton Keynes was our biggest and most successful show to date. The energy on the day was exceptional, with strong visitor engagement and a full spectrum of industry sectors represented.

• How has the show evolved and do you expect this trend to continue? Vendex has grown steadily in size over the last 20 years. The increasing presence of technology which enables unattended retailing and sustainable product lines, suggests that momentum will continue, with even more cross-sector participation in future events.
• Did you welcome new exhibitors and from what sectors do they come from? exhibitors — particularly from the drinks, confectionery, and health- focused snacking sectors. Their presence added real vibrancy and breadth to the show.
• What are your plans for the future with Vendex? The continued success of Vendex is driven by the loyalty and engagement of our exhibitors and visitors, many of whom return year after year to connect and do real business. We’ve shaped the show around their needs — resulting in the format you see today: a straightforward, cost effective, one-day, no frills, but high-impact event. Everything we do is built with that in mind. Our goal is simple: to deliver maximum value for everyone who attends. If we’re achieving that, we consider it a success.
We have an even bigger venue lined up for the next Vendex
North on 12th November with only a few stands left, so don’t delay in booking if you want to be part of the continuing Vendex success
