Frequently asked questions

Can goods for a fair at the NEC be sent from Poland in advance?

You can, and that is exactly how we work. We store the goods in our Milton Keynes warehouse, in the British Golden Triangle, and deliver them to the venue with a smaller vehicle exactly on the day and at the hour set by the booking. Sending early removes the risk of delays on the route and the crossing, and the stand is ready and waiting for build-up.

What does delivery access to the NEC Birmingham look like?

The NEC at North Avenue, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1NT takes deliveries against the venue time windows and notifications, so the truck has to appear at its assigned time, not simply on the day of the fair. We plan the delivery to the hour and keep the bookings in order, and on transport from the EU we add post-Brexit clearance and a GMR number for the crossing.

Can one company handle both the transport to the NEC and the customs clearance?

Yes, with us it is one job. We run the transport from Poland, the post-Brexit clearance with a GMR number for the crossing, storage in Milton Keynes if needed, delivery to the venue and the return after the fair. One contact answers for the whole thing, so when a problem appears nobody bounces you between a carrier, a customs agency and a warehouse.
