Showtime.
It’s only May and we are already in the middle of trade show season.
During April, the first Road Transport Expo (RTX) Northern Ireland took place at the Eikon Exhibition Centre outside Lisburn. Just the following week, the Commercial Vehicle Show attracted visitors and exhibitors to the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.
Export & Freight attended both shows, and in this issue we bring you extensive coverage of these important industry events.
For many in the transport and logistics sector, the next major date in the diary is Road Transport Expo at Stoneleigh, which this year begins on Tuesday, 30 June.
Trade shows remain an incredibly important part of the industry, which is why they continue to attract such strong attendance. Not only do they provide businesses with the opportunity to showcase their latest products and services to a highly targeted audience, they also offer a valuable chance to meet people from across the sector – to network, exchange ideas and, hopefully, do a few deals.
In this issue, we also feature special reports on commercial vehicle insurance and GPS and telematics – now an essential part of every fleet, helping to improve both efficiency and safety.
We are delighted to bring together another busy and varied magazine for our readers, and we hope you enjoy reading it.
As always, it has been a pleasure to put together.
Now, we are off to clean our golf clubs in preparation for the Annual Export & Freight Golf Masters on 11 June.
We hope to see some of you there!
