Increasing demand from exhibitors and continually rising visitor figures has led to The Restaurant Show moving from Olympia’s Grand Hall to Earls Court Two in 2007.

Organiser William Reed Hospitality has further demonstrated its commitment to the development of the event by securing the Earls Court venue for its long-term future, thus providing a solid foundation for further expansion.

“The move to Earls Court is really exciting as it provides us with the opportunity to grow the show, while still holding the event in a fantastic central London location,” said William Reed Hospitality’s Andrew Reed. “Exhibitors have been really positive about the change of venue and our ideas for the shows from 2007 and beyond. The restaurant market is rapidly expanding and this move gives us the flexibility to meet that market’s growing demand.”

Commenting on the growing success of the Restaurant Show, Jeremy Rees, exhibition sales director at EC&O Venues, which owns both Olympia and Earls Court Two, said: “Food and the dining experience are hot topics for the restaurant industry as the success of this year’s Restaurant Show demonstrates. Professionals and passionate amateurs are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is expected from a premium restaurant and the show uses interactive content, such as demonstrations and workshops, to give visitors the information they need to stay ahead in the fiercely competitive marketplace. I wish the team every success with the future of the show and look forward to welcoming them to Earls Court next year.”

The Restaurant Show 2007 takes place on 8-10 October in Earls Court Two.
