Dunsters Farm to host its first-ever trade show

The foodservice wholesaler is set to host a Customer VIP Day, an exclusive trade-show-style event designed to connect customers with top suppliers while offering valuable industry insights

The event will take place on Tuesday 25th March 2025, at Bolton Wanderers Football Club, featuring one-day-only supplier deals, expert-led workshops on cost-effective nutrition, and a keynote speech from Olympic gold medalist Mehdi Kordi. Attendees will have the chance to discover new product innovations, gain fresh menu inspiration, and strengthen supplier relationships.

The first-ever VIP Day is exclusively open to Dunsters Farm customers, ensuring a high-value, tailored experience – designed specifically for the catering businesses they support. Dunsters Farm have a clear vision for the event’s future, hoping it will grown into a firm favourite in the region’s foodservice calendar of events.

“This is an exciting moment for us,” said Hannah Barlow, managing director of Dunsters Farm. “Our VIP Day is designed to be more than just a meet-and-greet – it’s a practical, hands-on opportunity for customers to gain valuable insights, explore new products, and take away real, actionable ideas for their businesses.

However, this is just the start. As a third-generation, family-run business, we’ve always believed in building strong relationships and adding value to customers, and we see this event as an extension of that. Our vision is to develop it into a must-attend annual event, bringing together even more suppliers, customers, and industry experts to drive innovation and create new opportunities across the sector.”
