a looK at the Show’S attendeeS:

“BPM were delighted to be involved in such a fantastic show, which provided

us with a great platform to meet new companies and customers. Brilliant from start to finish and we couldn’t be happier

with our experience. Well done to the PuB15 team!”

“the event was extremely well organised and well attended. over the 2 days we spoke to a great number of

various operators that we hope will become Punch taverns partners in the near future. it was also an excellent way of showcasing our

investments and branding Punch taverns to suppliers, existing and new contacts and

influential multiple operators.”

JaMes Watts Partner reSourcing conSultant, Punch tavernS

the show had buzz; the show had balance; and the show had a feel-good vibe remarkable

for an event in its first year. We are now in talks with single pub operators, small pub groups, the largest pub groups - and food

service companies as well. We met so many companies we had wanted to meet, but never

had the time to reach. a dream.”

RuPeRt PonsonByFounder, Mr trotter

“after being an exhibitor of the independent Hotel show for the last few years i knew what to expect and was not

disappointed. PuB15 was very professional and the visitor numbers and quality were

excellent. i have already secured a £60,000 contract 4 days after the event and expect a

good deal more to come.”

Guy Bostock director, concorde bgw

sophie’s bar

the central networking point of the event, an inspiring environment that provided a unique opportunity to meet with industry peers, establish new relationships and share ideas.

the taste table offered hands-on, practical advice, tips and tastings aimed at operators looking for fresh ideas and products to present to their customers.

Packed full of expert insight and advice, the Careers Lounge provided the perfect stepping-stone for those wanting to make an impact in the industry and provided a hotbed of unrivalled networking and business generation opportunities from major PubCo’s, who share a focus on recruiting bright new talent.

the VIP & Press terrace provided an area to relax, meet and network with other key industry players - a haven of calm at the heart of the show.

One of the UK’s leading beer sommeliers, Sophie atherton, curated on Sophie’s Bar; a diverse selection of beers available to taste at the show, with plenty of lesser known gems, as well as better known old favourites that she believes would do well on more bars.
