What is the FEA LET Forum?

The event sees a host of leading suppliers bring their latest concepts and launches for delegates to check out and get their hands on. It’s the opportunity to experience the shape, feel and performance of things to come in the kitchen, at the bar and on the table. 

In 2023 the big trends included melamine and polycarbonate, organic designs, buffet, and hygiene and safety. Will they still dominate? Sustainability was another big driver, and is likely to be even more so this year. Exhibitors include suppliers and manufacturers of all types of light kitchen equipment, barware, glassware and tableware.  

“The Forum has become more and more popular over the years, both with delegates and exhibitors,” says Steve Goodliff, chair of FEA’s LET Group. “It allows dealers and specifiers to cram in a lot of product knowledge in just a day and a half – in terms of time management, it’s a huge bonus for buyers and suppliers.” 

The feedback each year is always very positive. Diane Kinkead of Bunzl Catering Supplies said, “I think it’s a brilliant forum, both for people who are experienced in the industry and those who are new.”  Meanwhile, Jo Pethard of United UK LLP described it as ‘enjoyable and educational’, adding, “I am sure we can generate more sales from the knowledge we learnt at the event.”
