The future of retail is about to unfold at the highly anticipated Natural & Organic Products Expo, which opens its doors this Sunday 14 and Monday 15 of April. Showcasing the latest trends, innovations, and industry figureheads in the realm of natural, organic and sustainable products, the Expo promises to deliver a unique platform for buyers and retailers looking to serve the ever-evolving conscious consumer.
Event Director Annie Lindsell says: “Natural & Organic Products Expo has been the heart of the sector for 28 years and each year we come together to make a difference. This is your place to meet like-minded, industry professionals who care about our impact for change. We have seen another year of challenges through the continued rise of cost-of-living impacts on the climate and a decrease in footfall on our high-streets. But where there are problems, we look for solutions and as an industry that originates from values and ethics, we show up, to innovate and collaborate. There is a responsibility on us all to be the change this year, and every year.
This year it’s safe to say that we are looking towards the future. How the spending of the conscious consumer is changing. How the demand for positive retail is growing. We are here to set a standard in food, health and beauty. A standard that your consumers expect. We are here for the future of retail! Thank you for being part of NOPEX, we couldn’t do it without you.”
