The UK’s leading event for the freight transport and logistics industry, Multimodal 2012, takes place next week at the NEC in Birmingham between 1st & 3rd May. Now in its fifth year, the event goes from strength to strength, and is the UK and Ireland’s only event that covers the whole range of freight transportation and logistics.
This year the event welcomes over 55 new exhibitors from all modes of the transport chain, bringing the total number of companies with stands at the event to over 200.
In addition, Multimodal will feature a whole array of seminars, workshops, trade briefings, networking occasions and features; all of which are free-of-charge to visitors.
With pre-registered visitors include buyers from: Aldi, Argos, Coca-Cola, Debenhams, Electrolux, Hallmark, Jaguar Land Rover, John Lewis, Kraft, Matalan, Sainsbury, Tesco and Pfizer.
With the whole show now occupying 16,400m2 of floor space at Birmingham’s NEC, this will be the largest Multimodal to date.
Exhibitors range from ports, shipping lines, rail operators, airlines, road hauliers and logistics providers through to equipment suppliers, technical and IT support providers, academic institutions, trade associations and government bodies. Visitors are drawn from the ranks of major shippers, retailers and industry.
One of the main attractions of the event is the comprehensive programme of seminars and industry briefings running on each of the three days of the event and organised by the Shipper’s Voice and the Trade Extensions (to see full programme Click here ), which are designed to give shippers and transport operators the opportunity to exchange views and to learn from some of the leading experts in the industry.
“Multimodal 2012 will be our fifth event for UK and Ireland’s transport and logistics industry. With each successive event we have built on the success of the previous one.” said Event Director, Robert Jervis.
“Once again, we have an impressive number of new exhibitors taking us to a total of over 200. Once more a distinguished range of speakers are lined up to talk at the event. But it is the growth of Multimodal as the accepted prime location for industry professionals to meet of which I am most proud. It is now an essential date for their diaries. I am confident Multimodal 2012 will be a success for all who visit or exhibit”.
Multimodal at the NEC from 1st – 3rd May 2012. Visitor registration is free.
