RTX is coming to town!
Welcome to the April/May issue of Export & Freight, which is once again packed with the latest news, special features and opinions from the busy transport and logistics industry.
In case you haven’t heard Road Transport Expo (RTX) is coming to Northern Ireland and it’s creating quite a stir.
In this issue we have an extensive preview feature of what to expect when the show rolls into town later this month.
The show’s organisers, Road Transport Media, wanted to bring their show which is ‘all about the truck’ to Ireland and to bring this to fruition they teamed up with us at Export & Freight and Fleet Transport magazine in the Republic of Ireland.
The inaugural RTX Northern Ireland takes place at the Eikon Centre, Lisburn on Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th April, 2026. In 2027 the show will move south of the border, each venue running as a bi-annual event into the future.
This issue also turns the spotlight on Women in Logistics, and to recognize the recent International Women’s Day we hear from 11 females who have worked their way to the top in their chosen fields.
We also join James Allen and his team at Allen Logistics as they celebrate 60 years in the transport industry. We hear how a farm business with one lorry turned into a modern, international logistics business.
The April/May issue also features a Focus on Fuel at a very difficult time for transport companies as events in the Middle East drive prices skywards. And we also highlight leading operators in the Materials Handling sector.
Add in the usual columns from the RHA and Logistics UK, and your usual round-up of industry news, shipping and the latest from Van and Pick-up Ireland and it really is a packed magazine.
There is plenty to read in these pages, so I’ll not keep you back any longer.
Enjoy the issue.
