School Catering Exhibition
Running alongside LACA 2012, the School Catering Exhibition is the only show in the UK which is dedicated to the school meals market.
With education caterers facing a greater challenge than ever before to deliver the right meal at the right price, the exhibition will provide visitors with the ideal environment in which to meet suppliers and manufacturers who can offer products and solutions to help them.
The School Catering Exhibition is an unrivalled opportunity to source new ideas and innovations and compare a range of suppliers under one roof.
