Following the success of
their attendance at Multimodal in 2016, Maritime Transport Ltd (Maritime) this
year returned to the NEC for the three-day event, meeting several of their
current customers whilst also discussing new opportunities with interested
parties from across the industry.
Incorporating a bar and
lounge area, as well as two meeting rooms, stand 5040 took inspiration from
Maritime’s award winning head office in Felixstowe with smart finishing touches
and a unique feel for Maritime’s guests.
Over the course of the
exhibition, Maritime’s stand was a popular hub of conversation and saw many
visitors try their hand at driving one of the popular Scania Highline replica
Maritime vehicles around a track consisting of two bridges and a reversing bay
– not as easy as it may sound!
“Multimodal is a fantastic opportunity for us
to meet with our customers and discuss any additional business with them,”
explains Simon Smart, Managing Director – Containers. “We’ve had some really
great feedback from those we met at the show and we’re looking forward to
developing the new, and existing, relationships we’ve made since attending.”
Following a successful
show, the celebrations continued for Maritime as they were again awarded ‘Road
Freight Operator of the Year’, an award voted for by industry experts, for the
second year running at the Multimodal Awards.
“We were delighted to walk
away with the award in 2016, so to be nominated, and voted for as winners by
our customers once again is fantastic,” said Tom Williams, Commercial Director.
“As a growing business we are working hard to focus our efforts on continuing
to improve whilst ensuring we are offering our customers the best and most
effective solutions.”
