2026 has started strongly at Meadow Vale Foods, with a busy show season already well underway. Over the past few months, our team has travelled across the UK, into Ireland, and to the Middle East, connecting with partners and showcasing our multi-award-winning product range.

We began in Doncaster at the Atom Business Event for Food and Drink operators, before heading to the Middle East, where we met with a select group of buyers and key stockists, further strengthening our relationships in the region. From there, we returned closer to home to attend IFEX Belfast alongside our Irish distribution partner, Yearsley’s. This marked the first time we had taken our double-decker stand overseas, and it proved to be a highly successful event, helping us engage with both new and existing customers in the Irish market.

Alongside these larger exhibitions, we have also supported a number of regional shows across England and Wales, including events in Birmingham, Manchester, London, Llanelli, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno, Blackpool, and Harrogate. At these shows, we’ve worked closely with wholesale partners such as Henry Colbeck, Bidfood, Castell Howell, Dunster’s Farm, and Harlech Foods.

Industry trade shows continue to play an important role in what we do. They give us the opportunity to connect face-to-face with customers across the foodservice sector, showcase our products in action, and share insight into how we can support menu development and business growth for businesses of all sizes.

Looking ahead, we will be attending the Friar’s Pride event in Exeter on Sunday 22nd March, before exhibiting at the International Food & Drink Event (IFE) in London from 30th March to 1st April. We will then head to Birmingham for the UK Food & Drink Expo from 13th to 15th April, followed by the South Lincs Food Show in Spalding on 22nd April, and the Turner Price Show in Newcastle on 29th April, continuing what has already been a strong start to the year.
