Expowest Exhibitions

The first expowest event was launched in mid Cornwall in1980 with just over 60 exhibitors. As the Cornwall show evolved the organisers looked east to Devon, and launched a similar event, this too has enjoyed major success. 'expowest' in Cornwall takes place annually at the Royal Cornwall Showground, Wadebridge and in Devon in the Westpoint Centre at the Devon Showground. Both shows now boast over 200 exhibitors and thousands of trade visitors each year. Reflecting on a quarter of a century of success, the company has achieved a lot and is still growing, companies have exhibited with them right from the start - such is the influence of the exhibitions.

The expowest ethos is to promote catering excellence in the areas they operate. People come to expowest knowing that they will be able to buy the best, whether it's food, beverages or catering equipment, giving local business people the opportunity to source everything they need to run their hotel, guest house, restaurant, caf, bistro, pub or fast food retail business and it's all under one roof. For that reason the exhibitions attract thousands of potential customers each year. Because of their pivotal position within the sector, expowest are also traditionally seen as the barometer for confidence within the tourism industry for the coming season.

The catering and hospitality industry has progressed significantly since the first expowest event. It used to be just about food drink and equipment, now businesses are really keen to ensure they have all the latest hi-tech services available for their customers. People are very innovative now. Companies know that to retain business, they have to improve year on year and maintain the high standards that the region has become renowned for. It's a drum that expowest is banging all the time, as raising standards, it's absolutely vital!.
