Dealers invited to book places at the popular annual event: “An absolute no brainer!”

Light Equipment & Tableware Forum, Oxford Belfry Hotel, 20^th and 21^st May 2025. 

The 2025 LET Forum, on Tuesday 20^th and Wednesday 21^st May, will be the 20^th edition of this increasingly popular event and it’s moving to a new venue, the Oxford Belfry Hotel.  This year is also the 20^th anniversary of the LET Sales Professional of the Year Award, and FEA hopes that some of its previous winners will be able to attend the Forum’s awards dinner. 

FEA’s Light Equipment and Tableware Forum is the place to find out about the very latest kitchen gizmos and designer tableware, with leading suppliers bringing their new launches for dealers to discuss and get their hands on. It’s a brilliant use of time, because delegates get to learn about a huge number of products, find out the latest trends, and meet up with suppliers and other dealers, in a well-organised, entertaining programme lasting just a day and a half. 

Sixteen suppliers have already booked to exhibit at the LET Forum, with more making decisions in the near future.   Owing to the popularity of the 2025 edition, FEA has changed the date to secure a larger venue, the move to 20-21 May means that the Forum will be able to give more room for exhibitors and delegates.

Delegate Andy Flack of Crosbys attended the 2024 event.  “This is my third time and it’s invaluable,” he said.  “We see new products and get to meet with competitors and suppliers.  It’s an absolute no brainer, fantastic.  What a concept – we’re being looked after and we’re not paying for it!!”

Paula Sherlock is chair of the FEA’s LET Product Group.  She says, “The Forum is not only a hugely efficient use of time, it’s also a great place to network with LET colleagues from across the industry.” 

The Forum is free for dealers to attend and, as well as having face to face meetings with leading LET suppliers, the ticket includes overnight accommodation in the Oxford Belfry Hotel; a place at the Forum awards, including dinner and entertainment; and lunch on day one, breakfast on day two, and tea and coffee during Forum breaks.

“We’re excited to be heading to a new location,” says Paula.  “I’ve been very impressed by the Oxford Belfry Hotel’s facilities and the attentiveness of staff there.  It promises to be a really excellent venue.”  Delegates will have full access to the hotel facilities, including the spa with pool and sauna. 

Dealers interested in attending need to reserve tickets as spaces are limited.  For more information and to secure tickets click here (tinyurl.com/dd6jcx78).
