There was vast amounts of interest shown to EPE throughout the 4 day event which took place at the Birmingham NEC arena. This was shown by the overwhelming amount of visitors to the stand. Everyone who visited was able to see the various amount of different brands we distribute along with new products including the Russell Hobbs Allure range and the Jamie Oliver Bakeware range. There was also brands including Kenwood, Bosh , Phillips and Tefal. This showed the variety of the products we have.

We feel that the exposure from this event will help strengthen the brand even further and helped keep customers, stockists and independent retailers alike informed about the quality of our products.

EPE would like to thank everyone who came and visited the stand.

The London Coffee Festival was born out of a dream to create the world’s most inspiring celebration of coffee and food culture. London is rapidly becoming one of the greatest places on earth to discover, taste and share incredible coffee and gourmet food, and is now established at the centre of the new ‘third wave’ coffee scene. Taking place in the unique environment of the Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, the coffee-obsessed and food fanatics will be immersed in a world of discovery, tastings, demonstrations and entertainment.

The festival will be taking place from Friday the 8th April 2011 through to Sunday the 10th of April 2011.

David Escoda said:

“Refinement of our distribution channels and routes to the independent market revealed a need for a focused premium distributor.As such we are happy to announce Ascaso UK has decided that the most efficient way to provide our range directly to the independent market is through a single distributor, and we have appointed EPE as our distributor to this channel. EPE have shown their ability to process and tailor orders to independent retailers perfectly. We are confident EPE will develop into a valuable asset for Ascaso UK providing any independents interested in our range a stronghold of stock holding and a reliable delivery service.

Our findings and research showed the level of national coverage and exposure EPE can provide with their established POS Coffee Choice ‘The most influential priced coffee guide in the industry’ it was apparent that to expand a premium brand in the market, Ascaso had to go to a premium brand distributor.”

Mr N Payne said:
