FEA upgrades the Member Spotlight Zone for HRC 2027

New offer takes the hard work out of exhibiting at the UK’s leading hospitality show

FEA (Foodservice Equipment Association) has announced details for the FEA Member Spotlight Zone which will feature at 2027’s Hotel, Restaurant and Catering show.

The member spotlight zone is designed to be a simple and affordable way for FEA members to attend one of the UK’s leading trade shows, and for 2027 FEA has redesigned its packages to include a wide variety of elements that were previously offered as additional costs. As well as an enhanced shell scheme, including power, LED spotlights and more useful features, this year attendees will have the option to combining up to three 2x2m stands giving a bigger display profile.

This will be aided by the new location for the FEA Zone. HRC organisers have given it a prominent location in the hall, putting it on the central walkway close to the Salon Culinaire. Jo Farish, event manager for HRC, says, “The FEA plays an important role in representing and connecting the UK’s foodservice equipment community, and we are delighted to be building on our partnership for HRC 2027. The Spotlight Zone will make it easier for foodservice operators to discover new products and suppliers.”

A perfect package

The cost includes the registration fee and you can select from a range of extras in order to create the ideal display area. These include door sections, flat shelving, a hat and coat rack, a raised fascia with printed branding or a double sized fascia, if required. You can also add platform flooring, MDE infill panels, an electrical point or package, a lockable cupboard and a branded counter unit with a graphic panel and, last but by no means least, a chair.

This provides businesses with everything they need to create a great impact for visitors to the show, with the peace of mind of a fully managed stand build and hassle free delivery. They also benefit from joint FEA and HRC marketing and PR exposure, including inclusion in targeted buyer campaigns.

“We’re delighted to bring the FEA Member Spotlight Zone back for 2027,” says John Cunningham, CE of FEA. “It was hugely popular when it was introduced as a pilot initiative in 2026 and attracted many big-name suppliers. The 2027 Zone promises to be bigger, with more FEA members, and to deliver an even better value package to exhibit at the UK’s premier foodservice equipment trade show.”

4 sqm – £2,995 (including registration fee)
