Punch reveals roadshow details
Taking place in 10 cities across the UK throughout October, the event will begin in Newcastle and finish in Chester.
This year’s shows will feature over 130 industry-leading suppliers, ranging from food and drink to support services. Visitors will also have the chance to meet members of the Punch Taverns team and operating board.
Punch will also be continuing its £5 million giveaway and each Punch Partner will receive a voucher booklet which entitles them to redeem a range of offers, such as free glassware or free bar staff training support.
Andy Slee, external affairs and central operations director, said: “We are delighted to be in our tenth year of the Punch Roadshows. Over the last nine years, we have seen 60,000 publicans through the doors and around 900,000 food and drink products sampled.
“We have been overwhelmed by the amount of suppliers who want to be involved. In fact, there will be a lot of new suppliers for 2013 and all of our venues are fully booked.”
Attendance to the event has increased for the past nine years running, with more than half of Punch Taverns’ pubs visiting last year.
