at Simpsons said: “It’s a big difference from a cold call. Events like this give you that personal interaction, and when you’re looking at an investment of this size, it’s about trust. Meeting suppliers face-to-face gives you the chance to build that relationship from the very start.”
Harry Grinonneau, Upstairs by Tom Shepherd, Lichfield said: “Face-to-face is so much more personal, and that’s what hospitality is built on. Just like creating a moment between staff and a guest, these events let companies connect with potential users in a much more meaningful way than an email ever could.”
Clelia Malinverni, Lightspeed said: “Working with The Staff Canteen has been a success story for three years. It’s fuelled by passion and collaboration, delivering value to the business while giving back to the hospitality community - that’s where we truly meet.”
