Five weeks at international trade fairs

Five weeks of trade fairs took the BDG team to Dubai, Barcelona, Las Vegas, London and Bologna in early 2024.

Where the team went

The programme included:

• Gulfood, Dubai — a food and beverage sourcing event.
• Alimentaria, Barcelona — a food-sector trade fair and meeting place.
• ASD Market Week, Las Vegas — a retail and consumer-goods event.
• IFE, London — an international food and drink event.
• Cosmoprof, Bologna — a cosmetics industry trade fair.

What the visits were for

The visits combined portfolio presentations with discussions about products, changing customer needs and new trading relationships.

Thank you to everyone who met the team and shared their ideas, questions and feedback.
