Gulfood 2016 grants from UKT&I: CESA makes last call for applications

Biggest ever show represents “great export opportunity for catering equipment companies”

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, centre, at Gulfood 2014It’s time for any catering equipment company wishing to exhibit at Gulfood 2016 in the Great Britain Pavilion to contact CESA, since space is selling out fast.  This is the 12th successive year that CESA will be organising the Pavilion in the equipment hall at Gulfood, Dubai, on behalf of UK Trade and Investment.

Companies exhibiting at Gulfood may qualify for a grant of £2,500 from UKT&I, under the Tradeshow Access Programme.  The programme is also being administered by CESA, who is calling for any interested companies to contact them as soon as possible, with the ten grants available being offered on a first come first served basis. 

The show takes place from Sunday 21st to Thursday 25th February 2016 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Gulfood is now the world’s biggest annual food and hospitality show – and 2016 will be bigger than ever, with over 5,000 exhibitors.  Last year the show attracted well over 84,000 visitors.  “Gulfood represents one of the great export opportunities for catering equipment companies,” says Tim Tindle, chair of CESA’s Exhibition Group.  “We expect the grants and the available exhibition space in the GB Pavilion to be taken up in record time, so it’s essential that companies thinking of applying do so quickly.”
