2013 Pioneer Food Show

This year's Pioneer Food Show was a big success and we wish to thank all the Pioneer people, our customers and supply partners who together made it the best ever.

Some 1,300 visitors placed in excess of 1,900 orders. The deals saved many caterers a great deal of money and suppliers were delighted to push their sales and showcase their latest ranges. Many suppliers commented on what a good atmosphere there was and what lovely people were visiting their stands.
