Grosvenor House hotel, London on June 4-6
Valentine Warner signs as Ambassador for London Produce Show
Presenter of several hit TV programmes – including ‘Valentine Warner Eats Scandinavia’, ‘Coast To Coast’ and BBC series ‘What To Eat Now’, Valentine has made a huge impression on the British public in the last few years.
As Show Ambassador, he will take part in the opening cocktail reception at the Grosvenor House hotel on Park Lane on June 4, before officially opening the show’s main event, an exclusive exhibition in the 5-star venue’s Great Room on June 5. He will also participate in chef demonstration around the show floor and will be available for interview for the national, consumer and trade media.
A keen fisherman who is also renowned for his work with game, Valentine has also been extensively involved with the produce industry, including the soft-fruit, onion and mushroom sectors. “I’m thrilled to be involved with the London Produce Show and Conference, which is the first event of its kind ever staged in the UK,” said Valentine. “Everyone knows the value that increasing consumption of fruit and vegetables in this country could bring to the health of the nation and this event aims to achieve precisely that, by strengthening the relationships between buyers and sellers of fresh produce from all over the world.
“I look forward to seeing many of my own colleagues at the Grosvenor House, as well as buyers from a wider field of the retail, wholesale and foodservice sectors.”
Nigel Jenney, chief executive of the Fresh Produce Consortium, which is presenting the London Produce Show alongside US publisher Produce Business, added: “Valentine is a great addition to our first event and his passion for all things food will resonate with every exhibitor, sponsor and delegate. We are currently finalising the remainder of our programme for the show, which runs from June 4-6, and we will have many more exciting developments to report to you throughout the rest of this month.”
