Every attendee at Catering Platform 2025 who responded to our post-event survey said they left the event with at least one potential business opportunity to follow up on đź‘€

And that’s exactly what the event is all about.

So much time can go into trying to get in front of the right people — the emails, follow-ups, calls, LinkedIn messages… sometimes it can take weeks just to start a conversation.

At Catering Platform, those conversations happen naturally because everyone is there for the same reason: to discover new ideas, products, and partnerships.

It’s always great to see buyers and suppliers leave the event with new connections, fresh ideas, and conversations already continuing beyond the venue!

Join us in July if you're looking for new connections🤝

One of the biggest challenges for suppliers isn’t always finding companies to speak to — it’s actually getting in front of the right people.

The emails, follow-ups, LinkedIn messages, and back-and-forth can go on for weeks before a real conversation even starts.

That’s why getting face-to-face still makes such a difference.

At Catering Platform, suppliers have the opportunity to meet decision-makers who are actively looking for new products, ideas, and partnerships for their business, making those conversations feel much more natural from the start.

Most suppliers don’t struggle with finding companies to contact.

They struggle with getting through to the right people.

The researching, cold outreach, follow-ups and unanswered emails can take weeks or even months before a real conversation even happens.

At Platform Events, those meaningful conversations start the moment you arrive at the venue, with potential partners already there ready to meet you.

Harrods are currently reviewing and evolving their entire food and beverage operation.

From menu development across restaurants and retail, to production capability, supply chain and long-term strategy, there’s a lot in motion behind the scenes.

They’re coming to Catering Platform to meet suppliers who can support that. Not just on food, but across equipment, systems, packaging, and operational services that can genuinely add value as they scale and refine what they do.

If you’re a supplier who fits into that space, this is exactly the kind of conversation you want to be in the room for.

Most people think Catering Platform is just food.
It’s not.

Yes, there are food and drink suppliers there, but it’s also the stuff that actually keeps kitchens and venues running properly: equipment, cleaning, tech, day-to-day operational bits you don’t always think about until you need them.

That’s what makes the conversations more useful. You’re not just looking at what goes on the menu, you’re looking at how the whole operation works.

Catering Platform is back this July at Hilton London Heathrow.

Most pub groups aren’t short of suppliers. They’re short of the right ones.

Wadworth are coming to Catering Platform with a clear focus of sourcing new and interesting ingredients that actually work across their estate. With 19 food-led sites and over 100 tenancy properties, this isn’t about browsing. It’s about finding products that can be delivered consistently at scale.

They're looking for centre-of-plate innovation, strong plant-based options (built from vegetables, not just alternatives), and quality frozen desserts, actively looking at how their menus can evolve.

This is exactly the kind of conversation that’s hard to get access to, and a reminder of how much more efficient sourcing can be when everything is in one place.

Most supplier conversations don’t get this far, this quickly.

From initial meetings at Facilities Platform to follow-up Teams calls already in the diary, this is exactly how the process should work: relevant conversations that lead somewhere.

When buyers meet suppliers who genuinely match what they’re looking for, the next steps happen naturally with clear path to building working relationships.

Most foodservice operations don’t run in one place, and neither do their challenges. That’s exactly the case for Vision - Redbridge Culture & Leisure.

Their Head of Food & Beverage oversees a diverse estate spanning cafés, leisure centres, park kiosks and theatres. It’s a role that demands constant sourcing, whether that’s products, equipment, services or operational support, all while maintaining consistency across very different environments.

That’s why they're attending Catering Platform.

Instead of spending months researching, reaching out and trialling suppliers, this is a chance to meet a wide range of relevant partners in one place, all pre-matched to current needs.

For suppliers, it’s exactly the kind of opportunity that’s hard to access elsewhere: a conversation with someone responsible for multiple sites, actively reviewing how their operations can evolve and improve.

Catering Platform returns this July at the Hilton London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5. Register your interest to attend on our website.

Announcement đź“Ł New Event Format!

To maximise productivity, all meetings will now be reduced to 60 seconds per supplier.

Enough time for a handshake, a quick pitch… and straight on to the next one.

Efficiency, right?
..

April Fools.
We’ll stick to giving you the time you actually need to have meaningful conversations. The kind that lead to real opportunities, not rushed introductions.

Because that’s where the value really is.
