Press Release
28th April 2009
Over £1 billion of customer spend registered for MEDS 2009
Triangle Management Services, organisers of The Mail & Express Delivery Show,
have announced today that the annual post, packets and parcels spend of
customers registered to attend the event in 2009, has just exceeded the £1
billion mark.
The Mail & Express Delivery Show is the ultimate UK event for the post and
parcels industry, bringing together as it does operators, high volume customers
and suppliers to the industry. The 2008 show saw over 400 delegates at the high
profile event and for 2009 the organisers are expecting even higher numbers.
Neil Jackson, Chief Executive of Triangle explained “Like every other industry,
the mail and express sectors are having a difficult time in the current economic
climate. MEDS gives suppliers the opportunity to keep close to their customers
and prospect for new ones, whilst allowing customers the opportunity to
benchmark their suppliers, review new services and initiatives and update
themselves on regulatory factors that may affect their operations. The response
from the industry since we announced the date of the show has been fantastic and
we are looking forward to a top quality event”.
The show will feature a leading line-up of industry speakers, including
regulators such as Tim Brown – Chief Executive, Postcomm, suppliers such as
David Smith – Managing Director, Parcelforce Worldwide and customers such as
Angie Foong, Country Product Manager, eBay UK, amongst 35 presenters at the
show. The content is arranged in eight different sessions to allow attendees to
pick the topics that are of interest to them.
There is also a simultaneous exhibition showcase allowing companies to promote
new and existing products to this important and influential audience. New for
2009 is a dedicated area within the exhibition, called Mailing Central, which
focuses exclusively on the many mailing houses, consultants and advisors who are
there to help customers select the right supplier for their needs.
With an impressive line-up of customers registered, including many household
names (such as Abbey, Boden, Capital One, Insight, John Lewis, Office Depot,
Orange, Redcats, RS Components & Virgin Media), MEDS 2009 is set to reinforce
its position as the most important event of its type in the UK. The show takes
place at the Novotel London West on 16 June 2009.
