Multimodal 2023 will celebrate sixteen years of putting shippers, retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, importers, and exporters in front of exhibitors who offer the latest logistics and supply chain solutions.
The three-day show, between 13-15 June 2023 at the Birmingham NEC provides shippers and cargo owners with alternative ways to improve their businesses by discovering innovative routes and methods of moving their products more efficiently via meeting new suppliers in the exhibition, and catching up with existing ones.
The Multimodal exhibition features a dedicated pavilion and conference sessions from the UK Warehousing Association. Companies taking part include Narrow Aisle Flexi, Dexory, SBH, Fagan & Whalley, JLL, Mercurius, IWS Group, Hoppecke, Cen Group, CPL, Magnus Group and Paul Ponsonby to name a few. UKWA led conference sessions will provide a state of the market analysis, energy problems and their solutions, amongst other topical issues.
Multimodal is a one-stop shop for cargo owners and shippers, offering unique opportunities to make valuable face-to-face contact with new prospects and existing companies. The exhibition encompasses all modes of transport and includes hundreds of companies showcasing the latest innovations in supply chain, including DP World, Port of Tyne, CEVA, Malcolm Logistics, ABP, Maritime Transport, Freightliner, Bristol Port, DSV, CMA CGM, Peel Ports, Mediterranean Shipping Company, and ONE.
This year’s conference series will focus on resilient, innovative and sustainable logistic strategies for business and people and Multimodal has once again teamed up with the Institute of Export and International Trade (IOE&IT), who will be presenting two days of training, giving practical advice and guidance on best practice for international trade to and from the UK. Delegates taking part in these conference sessions will qualify for IOE&IT Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points.
Multimodal continues to work with the leading industry trade associations, including the UK Warehousing Association, The Chartered Institute of Transport and Logistics, the British International Freight Association, Institute of Export and International Trade, the Rail Freight Group and Logistics UK to deliver content and insight at the conference.
Multimodal also hosts the Multimodal Awards on the first evening of the show, 13 June at the VOX centre, Resorts World at the NEC, entertaining 850 industry professionals in the Awards that recognise excellence in air, road, rail, maritime, and freight forwarding services. One of the fairest industry Awards, the Multimodal Awards are nominated and voted for by the industry for the industry through an independent Awards nomination and voting system, and via an independent judging panel. Winning an Award is a true independent endorsement of a company’s excellence. The presenter this year is Vicki Butler-Henderson whose extensive knowledge and experience is invaluable to Fifth Gear on Five. She joined the team after presenting Top Gear for the BBC from 1998 to 2001, Top Gear Gti for UK Horizons from 2001 to 2002 and UK Horizon’s Top Bikes.
