First UK pavilion at Sweets and Snacks Middle East

Six UK companies will be heading out to the warmer climes of Dubai on the weekend to take part in the first ever UK pavilion at Sweets and Snacks Middle East.  We have seen growing interest from UK business in the show due to the buoyant market for confectionery and snacks in the Middle East.  Supported by UK Trade and Investment, the companies will be looking to find new business partners and use the show as a base to meet with existing business contacts.  Here's a little more about the exhibitors taking part:
