Multimodal 2009 Testimonials

“Met with existing suppliers and found some new ones. Found the seminars and informal talks on different stands to be informative” Sara Lee International

“I think the show was tremendous, it’s the first time we exhibited and we found it hugely busy and talked to the sort of customers and prospects we need to speak too. In general terms Multimodal was a great exhibition for us” Keith Batterson, Director, Cosco Logistics UK

"Exhibiting at Multimodal 2009 for the first time exceeded our expectations with us receiving many new opportunities. The show also provided us with a great platform to meet both our existing customers and potential new business partners; present them with potential solutions directly at our booth and demonstrate how we can provide answers to truly global demands with our international know-how. We are looking forward to the 2010 show being an even bigger success and support the show's expansion for the future." Carl Hobbis, Marketing Manager, DB Schenker

“With another strong performance, Multimodal has established itself as the strategic freight, transport and logistics exhibition for the UK. High quality delegates and the right senior decision making visitors make Multimodal a superior selling and networking opportunity” Andrew McKaig, Commercial Director, Central Systems & Automation Ltd.

"Multimodal 2009 was very successful for DSV. We are looking forward to Multimodal 2010 being even better!" Chris Malyon, Head of Sales & Marketing, DSV Road Limited

“Multimodal gave everyone a lift! To have such a successful show in these difficult times, with attendance actually 66% up on last year and a lot of serious enquiries for our range of logistics services was fantastic. We hope that with some improvement in the economic climate by early 2010, the Multimodal show will come at just the right time to help us identify new business opportunities and justify our continued investment in client services.”  Stuart Taylor, Marketing Director, The Potter Group

“Very useful opportunity to compare the propositions from the leading logistics providers in one place” Unilever
