A record number of suppliers will showcase their products at a flagship food exhibition in North Wales.

Harlech Foodservice's annual two-day trade fair, Expo 25, will take place at Venue Cymru in Llandudno on March 12 and 13.

The event is expected to attract thousands of buyers, with sales forecast to top £1 million.

For the first time, global food and drink giants Coca-Cola and Mars will have stands at the event.

They will be joined by Harlech's newest partners, Sidoli's ice cream and Ferrari Coffee, as well as other household names such as Pepsi, Kellogg's, McCain, Young's Seafood, Premier Foods, Cadbury's, Twinings tea, Walkers crisps, and Unilever.

Welsh brands including Jones Village Bakery, Edwards the Welsh Butcher, Llaeth y Llan Village Dairy, and Radnor Springs will also be present.

Head of purchasing at Harlech, Josie Swift, said: "We are expecting a record 120 plus suppliers this year and are forecasting another record in sales of over £1 million as we unveil our Spring Trust Our Prices promise.

"It locks in 300 of our most popular prices for three months and added to it is our Season Start Up brochure packed full of over 1,000 deals."

The Expo is a highlight of the year for Harlech, which supplies a range of products to restaurants, cafes, schools, hospitals, museums, and art galleries.

The event allows suppliers to talk directly to customers, giving them a chance to tell the story behind their product to representatives from the tourism, leisure, education, and health sectors across Wales, the North West, and the Midlands.

"We are expecting many of our major customers at the event, the schools and NHS caterers we supply year round and of course the shops, pubs and cafés that have been at the heart of the business from the start."
