The Forecourt Show returns to the NEC this July (5–7) as part of the UK Food & Drink Shows portfolio.
The UK’s biggest trade-only event dedicated to the forecourt and fuel market is a unique opportunity to meet your peers and competitors as well as get the low-down from the sector’s leading experts.
Following a 16-month hiatus due to Covid-19, stringent safety and hygiene measures have been put in place and the show will be the first opportunity for suppliers, buyers, experts and decision makers to come together as an industry once again and focus on the future while also celebrating the resilience, spirit and innovation that prevailed during the pandemic. Packed with exciting ideas and concepts, attendance at The Forecourt Show will help you give your site an edge over the competition.

SIX SHOWS TOGETHER
The UK Food & Drink Shows unite six shows under one roof, covering the complete supply chain in three comprehensive days of insight, innovation and inspiration. The Forecourt Show joins Foodex, The Ingredients Show, National Convenience Show, Farm Shop & Deli Show and Food & Drink Expo, to create an unmissable event.
Across the six shows there are countless more opportunities for insight, innovation and networking meaning valuable time spent away from the forecourt can have even more of an impact for visitors whose interests go beyond any individual show. These include:
The Grocer Magazine’s Talking Shop Live at Food and Drink Expo which will hold a series of events to discuss and debate the key challenges affecting retail, wholesale and foodservice.
Farm Shop & Deli Awards Finals 2021 which recognise the very best of the speciality retailers leading the sector in customer service innovation and community involvement.
The Dragon’s Pantry will feature brave entrepreneurs experiencing the ultimate retail test. Innovative start-ups will have 15 minutes to pitch their ideas to a team of fearsomely-experienced industry ‘dragons’ and impress with their ideas, strategy and understanding.
Safety first at The Forecourt Show with AllSecure
The Forecourt Show organiser, William Reed Business Media, has worked closely with association partners including the Association of Event Organisers to develop industry-wide AllSecure standards for the event.
William Reed AllSecure outlines how these measures and guidelines will be put in place, designed to provide the highest levels of hygiene and safety.
These practical steps allow exhibitions running as part of The UK Food & Drink Shows to operate safely.
They also give those attending The UK Food & Drink Shows reassurance and confidence that they are participating in an environment that is effectively controlled, safe and run according to official government and local authority guidance.
The Forecourt Show, part of the UK Food & Drink Shows, is accredited with the VisitEngland ‘We’re Good to Go’ industry charter mark.
This verifies that the show meets the government and public health guidance on Covid-19 and that we have all the required health and safety processes in place to open safely in July.
