Planning for a fabulous 2018

Katy Truss • Jan 29, 2018

Is it too late to wish you a Happy New Year?!

It's still January, so I'm going to go ahead and wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope your year has got off to a fabulous start... it can be a difficult time of year for many people; business can feel slow post Christmas and January is a long, cold and often tough month but it's also a time for a clean slate, new beginnings and making exciting plans for the year ahead.

It's nearly February and signs of spring are slowly appearing; longer days, daffodils & tulips in the vase, bulbs and buds shooting up and out and the depressing dry and diet Januarys on their way out. Here at Fabulous Food Finds HQ I've been busy working on plans for the year ahead. My biggest focus being the BBC Good Food Shows where the BBC Good Food Champions areas continue to feature and I'll be once again project managing the Producers Bursary Awards. The portfolio now includes the exciting BBC Good Food's FEAST events at the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace and BBC Good Food Shows in Birmingham and Scotland. Shows and dates have been revised for 2018 so make sure you add these to your calendar:

  • BBC Good Food Show Summer - Birmingham NEC, 14th - 17th June
  • BBC Good Food's FEAST - Hampton Court Palace, 25th - 27th August
  • BBC Good Food's FEAST - Tower of London, 7th - 9th September
  • BBC Good Food Show Scotland - Glasgow SECC, 19th - 21st October
  • BBC Good Food Show Winter - Birmingham NEC, 29th Nov - 2nd Dec
  • BBC Good Food's Festive FEAST - Hampton Court Palace, 7th - 9th Dec
The last few weeks have been all about sorting client bookings for the year ahead and I'm delighted that the floor plans are filling up nicely with a great mix of independent and speciality producers.

If you'd like any information about these events or would like to discuss booking a stand please do get in touch with me on Katy@fabulousfoodfinds.co.uk.

I'm slowly updating my website but have plans to add lots more content soon so please do keep me updated with new and old products, new branding, competitions, news etc. I'm also planning on upping my game on twitter and instagram so again, please do share and connect with me on these channels - my main focuses are quality, independent, artisan and speciality food and drink along with other fabulous foodie things! Below are some of my recent posts...

February includes the joint birthday party for my Lottie's 3rd Birthday and Alfie's 2nd Birthday, so as you can imagine I'm continuing to juggle work and life with my hands full. Of course I wouldn't have it any other way...

All the best for the year ahead!
