Harlech Foodservice is forecasting a £3m sales boost at its trade fair next month, with the two-day Expo 26 taking place at Venue Cymru in Llandudno on March 11-12.
The Welsh wholesaler took £1.5m last year and is expecting up to 3,000 buyers through the doors including representatives from major players in the public and private healthcare and education sectors, along with the tourism and hospitality industry.

This follows two years of rapid expansion for the Gwynedd-headquartered company which has added new hubs in Carmarthen, Caerphilly and Telford to its long-established centres in Cricieth and Chester.
Toby Foskett, category manager for Fruit, Vegetables and Butchery, said: “We have made a successful move into fresh fruit and veg in the last six months and are already supplying to customers including schools, hospitals and care homes in North and South Wales. We aim to extend that so the range is available to all customers across Wales, the North West of England and the West Midlands very soon and could even be offering the service by the time of Expo.”
