We've had such a good time at IFE and I'd recommend it to any new brands trying to meet prospective buyers or learn who your customer base is. It's an awesome opportunity, especially in the Startup Market, to see who else is in the stage you're in and make new connections.

The Conchita Brand
The event was an extreme success for us. We managed to connect with the two main buying teams of two major supermarkets which was our sole intention – on top of the added bonus of 4 other supermarkets. Brand awareness was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

The Original Patty Co.
This was our first year at IFE and the quality of people who have been by our stand was fantastic. IFE opened up some channels that we were hoping for but also some completely new ones that we didn’t even think about. It has definitely surpassed our expectations, we have met some great distributors, retailers, wholesalers, potential suppliers and a really interesting mix of people from the UK and abroad. We look forward to returning next year.

Keto Baker
We found IFE 2023, very productive for Jepco Solutions, we met a broad spectrum of people at the show, a large selection of buyers both from UK and overseas. The conversations we have had have opened new avenues far quicker than we expected, we will certainly look to be back again!

JEPCO Solutions
We found this a great event for us to launch our new products into the UK market. The event was very well organised in every respect and a good experience for us as an exhibitor. We met a good mix of the visitors and are confident that our new business will benefit.

Protein 4 U
We exhibited at IFE 2023 after a successful show in 2022 and once again the event delivered, as connections were made and relationships were formed. This trade event is unique as it opens doors domestically but also internationally, allowing for greater potential.

Better Nature
IFE 2023 was a really well organised show with good quality leads. We're glad to have showcased and look forward to attending next year. The show was a perfect opportunity for us to launch our new line of vegan product; MM Gouda-Style Cheese, MM Cumberland Sausage, MM Bacon alongside our mainline.

Moving Mountains Foods
IFE was a golden opportunity for us to launch our amazing products to new potential customers but also launch new products to our existing customers. The staff at Montgomery Group were extremely helpful to us during set up and throughout the event, especially Catriona.

Coldpress Juices and Smoothies
We continue to be very impressed by IFE. Firstly, we are proud of such an extensive and world-leading show in our in own capital city. The show attracts the globe’s most exciting brands, producers and manufacturers. However, it is the expert management which allows us to attend with ease. The team make it look very easy and transforms a truly global annual event into a familiar place where we can spend time with friends, new and old, forging strong connections within the industry. We look forward to seeing everyone in 2024.
