Multimodal is an annual event held at the NEC that brings together the leading parties in supply chain. Major shipping and haulage companies have stands that showcase their latest service offerings and offers advice to potential and existing customers. Importers and exporters alike visit the 3 day event as it is a ‘one stop shop’ to connect with supply chain professionals 

Another successful event for Peel Ports, who hosted the VIP lounge, we engaged with leading BCO’s, shipping lines, freight forwarders and hauliers. Many discussions were relating to the current challenges facing supply chains who have their Northern bound cargo shipping to a Southern port. With productive engagements, insights to the port capabilities and the value added services we offer, it is helping force a change in strategy in these chains. 

“We have changed the port of destination to Liverpool in an effort to avoid any UK landside hold ups” Montirex 

“It makes sense to ship our cargo into Liverpool, from a cost perspective and reduction in CO2 emissions, something we take seriously” Castore 

Those adopting the 2PUK strategy whereby this stock is shipped to Liverpool port are not facing this problem.  

“With all the challenges in the UK network, it is pleasing to know that our Northern bound cargo is arriving at Liverpool port” TJ Morris 

“Inbound management is imperative to our stock availability, and the unique service given at Liverpool port facilities our high demands” B&M
