The Farm Retail Association Conference takes place next week, and the team here at The EPOS Bureau is busy making plans to ensure we get the most out of the three days in Birmingham.
Here are the five things we’re most looking forward to – and, if you’re planning on attending, make sure you drop by to say hello.
Events like the FRA Conference are brilliant for a number of reasons – including giving us the chance to literally talk shop with our customers. Of course, we see each other now and again and speak on the phone or on video calls, but there’s nothing better than having a proper face-to-face chat about everything from farm shops to families – it’s genuinely a highlight of any event, and WE. CANNOT. WAIT!
Another highlight of the FRA Conference next week is the brilliant array of guest speakers. Here at The EPOS Bureau HQ, there are some pretty strong negotiations happening – who’s going to stay on our stand (19-20, by the way) and who’s getting to see who. At the top of our list is Paul Hargreaves from Cotswold Fayre as well as Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, ‘The Black Farmer’ – while there’s a whole host of other speakers who’ll leave everyone feeling inspired and ready to tackle the world!
So, when you come to stand 19-20 and you’ve had a good chat with The EPOS Bureau team (that bit’s optional!), you can pick an envelope from our prize wall and see if you’ve won one of the many prizes we have up for grabs. It’s completely free to enter, and you could be leaving the event with something pretty special. So come along and have a go. After all, you’ll be doing us a favour – the more we give away, the less we have to pack up and take home!
OK, so this is legitimately one of our favourite nights of the year. The Farm Retail Awards Gala Dinner, on 12 March, is a glam evening celebrating and acknowledging the best of the best in our industry. There is a drinks reception, a three-course meal, networking, entertainment and, of course, the presentation of the coveted Farm Retail Awards for 2025. Best of all, we get to meet everyone from the industry you could possibly want to – so get your networking (and dancing) shoes on!
Of course, The EPOS Bureau team is there for one reason primarily – to spread The EPOS Bureau word! And we do that because we genuinely know just how much of a difference it can make to your business. We truly believe in our platform, and have countless customer stories to share with you – so, please, stop by stand 19-20 and indulge us in our favourite pastime – talking about The EPOS Bureau – and get a sneak peek of our new e-loyalty app, too!
The EPOS Bureau is proud to be the Gold Sponsor of the Farm Retail Association Conference 2025 – and we’d love to see you there. If you haven’t yet got your ticket, it’s time to move fast. Visit the event website today
