Kitchenware Buyer for Mallett's Home Hardware in Truro Rosemary Eddy
"We've been really busy handling inquiries from bed and breakfast and hotel accommodation
businesses. Expowest is an excellent platform from which to meet old and new
customers."
Traci Lewis, of Organic South West
"We've had lots of inquiries about organic products from businesses such as cafes, bed and breakfast accommodation providers
and restaurants. This shows people are really searching out quality locally-produced
food. It also demonstrates that Cornwall is becoming more and more of a destination for people looking for a culinary experience."
Sherry Boocock, a partner in Liskeard firm Plough to Plates
"Expowest is a great show for an ever increasing range of Cornish food producers. Demand for food produced in the county is growing fast and I think that 2005 will be the year that local
producers will replace national suppliers - there's a real impetus for local food at the moment."
Carrie Landeryou, Cornish Cyder Farm near Perranporth
"This is our first time at expowest and we've had some really strong interest from visitors to the show. Local food and drink seems to be very popular, people are really searching it out this year."
Chef Neil O'Brien, with St Ives-based Celtic Fish and Game's
"We've been really, really busy. The interest in locally supplied food has been amazing. Expowest is a great showcase for quality products and there is no shortage of them here this year."
Vince Falco, of Cornwall Tourist Board
"Cornwall is in a quality transition. We have never seen such a direct investment in upgrading property. Cornish restaurants now offer world class food and local suppliers have never been so popular, and all this is driving up the quality offered to visitors to Cornwall. Shows like expowest are playing a big part in linking the market with local suppliers. There's nothing quite like this event, it's making a phenomenal contribution to Cornwall and offers more to the county than national shows like Olympia can."
Terry Willets - Sales Manager Brewer & Bunney Ltd., Redruth
"This is the largest show ever and Cornwall's catering and hospitality businesses are doing better and better. They increasingly have the confidence to invest in capital equipment that improves their professionalism and presentation.
Expowest is an important show and we will continue supporting it."
Gilly Barber, Business Development Manager, Sidoli of Shrewsbury
"The show is going extremely well but then we always find expowest to be a brilliant opportunity to launch any new products as well as meet customers - both old and new. Cornwall has such a high tourism profile that we find we are now experiencing good business opportunities all round, particularly from teashops and cafes. We've been coming for 6 years and will definitely be coming back again next year."
