We are delighted to announce a headline partnership with National Event Catering Expo, the new event dedicated to event caterers, launching in January 2024 at the NEC in Birmingham.

Nick Summers, Managing Director NCASS said,

“We are delighted to throw our full support behind National Event Catering Expo. From speaking to our members, there is demand for a platform that offers the opportunity to have experts, suppliers and buyers in one place to tackle the challenges faced by the sector and to provide opportunities to develop and expand as well as somewhere to meet other like-minded business owners and share experiences and ideas.”

Organised by award-winning Hub Exhibitions, National Event Catering Expo (NECE) is the new trade exhibition designed specifically with event caterers in mind. The marketing team will run a year-round national campaign aimed at indoor and outdoor venue event catering professionals, to support new exhibitors and help extend their promotional reach in the run-up to the event.

The Mobile Catering Zone provides an exclusive area at the Show for mobile caterers (with their vans, trailers, gazebos etc.) to showcase their business services and live cooking demonstrations. Stand spaces in the Mobile Catering Zone start from £840 + VAT with an added 10% discount offered to all NCASS members.

Christie Day, Group Event Director for NECE added,

“We want this event to offer the same value and opportunities to mobile caterers, often micro businesses that haven’t exhibited at a national trade show before, we recognise that for these businesses to showcase their catering offering at its best, they will need to bring their catering units, to help make this happen it makes sense to create a special price for exhibitors in this zone.”

Taking place 30-31 January 2024 at the NEC Birmingham, The National Event Catering Expo will be free to attend, and more information can be found here.
