Multimodal is the UK and Ireland‚s leading logistics event, providing cargo owners and shippers, both large and small, with unparalleled opportunities for them learn how to improve their supply chain.

These opportunities are educational (seminars, master-classes and workshops), networking-based (The Shippers‚ Village, VIP Dinner, Multimodal Hog Roast, VIP Lounge) and commercial (over 250 of the country‚s leading logistics service providers).

New to Multimodal this year are exhibitors including Palletline, Gazeley, Unsworth, 3t Logistics, Zeta System, Total Oil/AS24, TPN, Manchester Airport Group and Cronus Logistics who join regular exhibiting companies Seabridge/COSCO, Bristol Port, CEVA, Dachser, DB Schenker, Maritime, Eurotunnel, MSC, ABP, DSV, GEFCO, Peel Ports, Howard Tenens, Malcolm Logistics, PD Ports, Stena Line, Freightliner, DP World and Wincanton – to name just a few.  All of our exhibitors can help you find ways of optimising your supply chain and transportation flows, helping you improve your efficiencies and saving scarce resources.

As well as many new exhibitors joining Multimodal this year there are also many new initiatives which will be of interest.

Dedicated pavilions on the exhibit floor will put you directly in touch with companies offering bespoke solutions to your needs, from The Loadstar Air Cargo Pavilion to the FSDF Pavilion, focusing on food and drink logistics, to the Logistics Leaders Network, to the largest, the UK Warehousing Association Pavilion.

Multimodal 2014 will also play host to a host of industry meetings, including ELUPEG, Rail Freight Group, Leaders in Supply Chain, CILT and Women in Logistics.

Complimentary meeting areas in the Shippers‚ Village, available for cargo owners to hold private meetings with suppliers, are proving very popular once again.  Signed up already are Miller Brands, Boots, Jaguar Land Rover, Tata Steel, Dunelm Mill and Sears.

Multimodal provides a one-stop-shop where you can find all your freight solutions under one roof, plus you can take advantage of the free to attend seminars and hear first-hand the experiences of your peers, including the Co-operative, Sainsbury’s and ASDA, amongst others.

The seminars are brought to you by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, and Freight Transport Association, with multiple sessions designed to help everyone run slicker supply chains.

This year too we are also launching an Air Freight Seminar Stream in association with The Loadstar, tackling key trends and issues in the industry and focusing on a new FTA report into UK air freight shippers‚ needs.

As a small diversion, Trade Extensions will once again be offering visitors the opportunity of taking part in the classic supply chain simulation module ˆ the MIT Beer Game. The object of the game is to minimize the total cost for everyone in the supply chain by maintaining low stocks but managing to deliver all orders.

As if these weren‚t reasons enough to attend, for this year only, Multimodal is co-located with the Commercial Vehicle Show. Multimodal visitors have free access to the CV Show simply by showing their Multimodal badge! So why not drop in there too?
