NRB DEBATE
Sponsored by
WEDNESDAY 16 MARCH 2016
Welcome to the preview of the sixteenth annual Northern Restaurant & Bar. If our exhibition were a human it would now be old enough to get married, join the army, or even ride a moped! Instead NRB’s coming of age means it is absolutely established as the largest and most prestigious hospitality industry event in the North, providing the premier opportunity for leading operators, suppliers and commentators to meet, speak and do business.
From Liverpool to Leeds, the North East to North Wales, and the Lake District to the Peak District, NRB brings the cream of the hospitality industry to Manchester. This year, alongside our talks and demos, star names, record-breaking exhibitor numbers, the NRB Debate and the NRB Top Fifty, we have even more new features to ensure our event keeps pace with the needs and expectations of a resurgent hospitality scene. Register online for your free ticket and we look forward to seeing you in Manchester northernrestaurantandbar.co.uk
