Access All Areas Summer 2022: Food For Thought
Sector Focus. Access Explores the latest trends and technologies in the concessions sector and finds out how companies are championing sustainability while having to deal with challenges, including rising costs...
[EXCERPT] Live events concessions providers are coming under increasing pressure from multiple directions. Vendors must meet the ever-changing demands of customers, such as low-calorie beverages and flexi veganism, while sustainability measures are becoming integral to working at many events, and then there is the need to work with evolving technologies.
Having had to navigate the pandemic, vendors must now cope with rising costs and staff shortages.
Event Wine Solutions (EWS) account manager John Myres says sustainability is at the firefront of most of its customers' minds when they buy a product, and that is why the company has worked hard to switch to 100% recycled, carbon neutral rPET bottles that are 100% recyclable after use. "We launched these in 2021 and the reception has been very enthusiastic. We did this in partnership with sustainability consultants and recycling experts - it's been a long journey but we're proud of where we are now.”
