South West Food & Drink at Food & Drink Expo

Food and Drink processing is the largest industrial sector in the South West, adding over £2.8 billion to the value of the raw ingredients it uses and employing round 85,000 people – thus providing 4.4% of the jobs in the region.

Food & Drink Expo at the NEC is the UK’s largest food-led event and a ‘must’ for South West Food & Drink to showcase the region’s excellence. In 2006 and again in 2008 Posh Pig Promotions were contracted to co-ordinate their stand - the largest regional pavilion at the exhibition.

The 378m2 space was created to showcase the regional brand and to promote 45 top quality producers from all over the South West. The brief was to sell and then manage the space, liaising with the exhibitors, pavilion designer, exhibition organisers and PR agencies in the lead up to the event.

Philip Watts, a top South West chef, was on hand to create delicious canapés and refreshments to demonstrate the exhibitor produce to the VIP’s visiting the hospitality area. The large number of visitors to the pavilion and the extremely positive post event feedback is testimony to the excellence of the overall management of the event, which was deemed a success for the producers and South West Food & Drink.

Client Comments

Golf Events


Electrolux – Golf Event Days UK


Ask any golfer where they would really like to play and Gleneagles would undoubtedly feature towards the top, if not at the top of the list! In 2005 Electrolux, the world’s largest manufacturer of kitchen appliances, took advantage of this golfing fact and in June invited 40 guests to the pinnacle of their golfing desire. Posh Pig Promotions arranged for Electrolux guests to play on the challenging 5,965 yard Queen’s course. However, heavy overnight rain brought near disaster with the news that all courses were closed! Yet, as if by magic, the rain stopped and the Electrolux guests were the first to tee off that day – smack on time! A Stableford competition for both teams and individuals with ‘nearest the pin’ and ‘longest drive’ competitions added to the day’s enjoyment. Gleneagles golf courses are demanding for any level of golfer and the stunning environment was a fitting backdrop for this top-drawer event.


Team Building Events

Deloitte & Touche - Team Building Event

Deloitte has a straightforward goal: To be recognised as the pre-eminent and most trusted professional services firm, famous for the calibre of their people and respected for the exceptional quality of their work. For the past 5 years Posh Pig Promotions have arranged a variety of team building exercises for three Deloitte UK offices - Bristol, Gatwick and St Albans. The days are similar in format - a morning of formal business followed by lunch and afternoon team building. Rewarding staff for all their hard work during the year, the afternoons are given over to light hearted fun like inflatable volley ball, "It's a Knockout", assault courses, driving events, to target sports - to name but a few! On one occasion teams were all provided with video cameras and asked to make a 60 second video on a given subject. All the videos were edited and put on a master tape and shown after dinner that evening. At most events, a variety of evening entertainment is provided: Karaoke, discos and quizzes have all been popular ways for staff to let their hair down, building relationships that will strengthen further once back in the office. The fact that Posh Pig Promotions has provided this service annually demonstrates the value of team building in a dynamic, fast-moving environment. The cost is often offset by an increased understanding of the company's core values and closer inter working - leading to increased productivity.
