BPCA at the Takeaway Expo 2017

Supported by Beaver Pest Control Services, BPCA attended the 2017 Takeaway Expo to showcase its membership community.

The Takeaway and Restaurant Expo 2017 took place on the 27 and 28 September and attracted over 8700 people. The event which played host to 150 Seminars, 300 Exhibitions and a range of free masterclasses from industry experts was heralded a great success by Prysm Group. BPCA, exhibiting for the first time were supported by Beaver Pest Control who provided technical guidance on pest issues relating to the fast food industry.

BPCA membership manager, Kevin Higgins, led specialist talks on "The Health & Safety of your establishment" and "Essential tactics to increase your sales." The BPCA team reported a "significant increase in pest awareness" among the food community attending the event.

Kevin said: "The takeaway show was a fantastic event to be involved with and effective pest management is increasing on the agenda of the industry's key stakeholder groups. We managed to showcase the BPCA membership to some new contacts within the professional food community as well as reaffirm our capabilities to existing contacts."

"We would like to thank Beaver Pest Control for their support at the takeaway show as it was great to have the technical assistance on hand. We openly encourage any other members to put themselves forward to help us out in the future."

In response to feedback from the members, the Association has identified exhibitions such as the Takeaway Show as a key strategic priority to raise the profile of effective Pest Management at end user events and activities. Following on from the Takeaway Show, BPCA will be exhibiting at Croptec, a major event for the arable farming community in November.
