HRC partners with catering equipment organisations for 2025 edition

HRC, part of Food, Drink & Hospitality Week, has signed two partnerships in the world of professional kitchen equipment ahead of its 2025 edition on 17-19 March 2025 at ExCel London.

The agreements are with the Foodservice Equipment Association (FEA) and catering equipment distributor trade body, ceda, and are aimed at the event continuing to showcase the latest innovations in equipment, services, and technology for hospitality professionals.

John Cunningham, CEO of the FEA, said: “HRC is Britain’s best showcase for commercial kitchen equipment, it’s a must-attend show in the calendar. Over 30 FEA members exhibited at HRC in 2024, doing significant business, and we’re really looking forward to supporting an even bigger and better show in 2025.”

Steve Hemsil, community development manager at ceda, added: “We are looking forward to providing opportunities for ceda members, partners, and the Academy to benefit from the HRC event and the knowledge, learning, and networking that it provides.”

Jo Farish, event manager for HRC, said: “These partnerships allow us to provide an unparalleled platform for showcasing cutting-edge kitchen equipment, which plays an essential role in driving the success and efficiency of the hospitality sector.

“It’s especially exciting to see catering equipment feature in our International Salon Culinaire chef competition, where world-class chefs rely on the latest technology and quality equipment to bring their culinary creations to life.”

In addition to showcasing the latest equipment, HRC 2025 will feature a seminar programme with industry leaders from the world of hotels, restaurants and catering, plus chef demos, interactive workshops and networking opportunities.

The show will also be celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2025, having first launched in 1935 as a trade exhibition for the hospitality sector.

HRC 2025 will takes place on 17-19 March at ExCel London alongside IFE Manufacturing, IFE, The Pub Show and International Salon Culinaire as part of Food, Drink & Hospitality Week.
