This week saw the return of the biggest event in the natural and organic industry calendar; Natural and Organic Products Europe. Held at Excel in East London, Natural and Organic Products Europe is the leading trade show for those in the health food, natural beauty, natural living and health industries and is a focal point for suppliers and buyers alike.
