Tickets are now on sale for the unmissable Better Wholesaling Summit, which takes place on 13 July at The Studio in Birmingham.
Confirmed speakers include Just Eat‘s head of restaurant services Robin Clark, and the MD of forecasting agency Trend Bible and former head of trends at Tesco, Joanna Feeley.
Wholesalers appearing on stage include Bidfood IT director Abigail Brierley and Bidfood sales director Andy Kemp, JW Filshill MD Simon Hannah, Bestway Wholesale MD Martin Race, Hyperama Wholesale MD Aris Poulis, and Blakemore Wholesale Distribution MD James Russell.
The Summit, which has the theme of Innovating for Tomorrow’s Customer, will focus on three topics: the next steps in technology, balancing foodservice and retail, and keeping up with your customer.
Better Wholesaling editor Martyn Fisher, said: “The Better Wholesaling Summit will provide you with cutting-edge insight from wholesalers at the top of their game, a director from one of the most important disruptive tech businesses in Europe, and someone trusted by the biggest supermarket in the UK to pinpoint the trends that it needed to be following.
“The discussions and debates that follow each session will help spark creativity, develop new ideas and allow you to think in innovative ways about how you prepare your wholesale business for the customers of tomorrow.
“The programme focuses on the issues that matters most to you, and we are delighted that the Better Wholesaling brand has attracted such a strong speaker line-up, including four managing directors of wholesale businesses boasting a combined turnover in excess of £3bn.
“With delegate numbers restricted to a lower number than most events in this channel, you have the perfect opportunity to build relationships and do business with dynamic and senior leaders and progressive business minds that you would otherwise not have access to.
“Attending the Summit is an absolutely crucial step for ambitious wholesalers looking for support with making informed decisions about their business. I look forward to catching up with you there.”
The conference is open to decision-makers at wholesale businesses of all sizes. To join us, please follow this link.
