As the Forecourt Show becomes an annual exhibition, keeping pace with the fast-changing petrol station sector, we take a look at some of the non-grocery innovation for operators at this April’s event and the wider UK Food & Drink Shows.
The Forecourt Show is one of four events under one roof at the UK Food & Drink Shows, running alongside the National Convenience Show, Food & Drink Expo and Farm Shop & Deli Show.
Taking place at the NEC Birmingham from Monday, April 13 to Wednesday, April 15, the event boasts around 1,200 exhibitors and offers visitors invaluable insight on the topics and trends that are driving the industry.
