Leading the way with success!

Multimodal 2010, the UK and Ireland’s premier and foremost transport logistics event took place at the NEC Birmingham from 27 – 29 April 2010 with the objective of focussing on supply chain efficiencies and the increased importance of reducing transportation costs in the current economic climate.

In its 3rd year the show was 110% bigger than in its inaugural year and visitor attendance has more than doubled! 

Multimodal 2010 took place in Hall 4 to accommodate demand and the 185 exhibitors welcomed 3,912 high-profile visitors with enthusiasm. Substantiating this success, most exhibitors rebooked their stands for 2011 with many requesting additional space.
