    Creating export success for UK food & drink exporters - PS8 Ltd & Food & Drink Exporters Asscn

    What a week! Great working with so many UK brands across the sector halls at SIAL creating both bespoke independent stands and focused UK groups. We might not be on the scale of the countries that have the benefit of Government investment, but what a great presence it was from those that took stands to profit from the global audience SIAL brings. Great to see that the shows still attract UK companies of all sizes from large UK manufacturers, active exporters and small premium producers. Time to book ANUGA now!!

    🍋 SIAL Paris 2024! 🗼🥐🥖 After months (and even years!) of preparation, SIAL Paris 2024 has come and gone – and what a trade show it was! This year, we showcased 55+ UK exhibitors over 770 sqm and, for the first time ever, across 7 sector halls! It was a non-stop week that kept us busy (and boosted our step counts!), but seeing the pavilions bustling with visitors from around the globe made it all worthwhile. The UK pavilions became a hub of activity, drawing in buyers and distributors eager to experience UK innovation, heritage, and quality. 🎥 Check out some shots from the show in the video. And a huge thank you to all the UK exhibitors and everyone who helped make this trade show a success! Tell us what you thought – and we can’t wait to see you next time!

    📢🇬🇧 At Sutralis, tastings are a key part of our support for FOOD & DRINK brands! For our prospects, it's crucial to analyse both market potential and the product's taste profile as it relates to French consumer preferences. 👉🏼 For example: "Is this product too spicy for the average French palate?" This helps us determine if the product aligns with market expectations or requires adjustments. For our clients, we take it a step further by comparing their products with competitors, analysing packaging, and advising on suitable product references for the French market. 👉🏼 This analysis helps our project managers fully understand the product before presenting it to buyers in France. Ready to launch your brand in the French market? Get in touch! 📧 jade.guiffes@sutralis.com 📢🇫🇷 Chez Sutralis, les dégustations font partie intégrante de notre accompagnement pour les marques FOOD & DRINK ! Pour nos prospects, il est important d'analyser le potentiel marché mais aussi le potentiel produit quant aux goûts et saveurs appréciés sur le marché français. 👉🏼 Exemple : "Ce produit est-il trop épicé par rapport à la consommation habituelle des français ?" Cela nous permet de savoir s'il peut correspondre à ce qui est attendu sur le marché ou bien s'il a besoin d'être adapté. Pour nos clients, nous allons encore plus loin en comparant leurs produits avec ceux des concurrents, nous analysons leur packaging, nous les conseillons sur les références à choisir pour la France, etc. 👉🏼 Une analyse importante pour que notre project manager s'imprègne du produit avant de le présenter aux acheteurs sur le marché français.
