“Very few road haulage based events

attract or embrace such a wide cross

section of the industry. From the

comments we hear, and the people

we meet on our exhibition stand, we

fi rmly believe that Truckfest delivers

our target audience for both these

important titles.

25 years is an excellent acheivement,

especially in an ever changing and

increasingly diffi cult market as

the road haulage industry. It is an

achievement that Truckfest should be

rightly proud of. We congratulate Live

Promotions Events Ltd on reaching their

25th anniversary, and look forward to

another successful year with our titles

Commercial Motor and Truck and Driver

as media partners for Truckfest.”

A word from our media partner :

Neil Stiles, Managing Director, Reed Business Information

1983-2007

TruckfestChanging the Changing the perception of the road perception of the road haulage industry...haulage industry...There is little doubt that no other series of events has done more to change the perception of the road haulage industry than Truckfest.

In celebrating 25 years of the event, we look back at probably the best analogy given about Truckfest from Brian Weatherley, editor-in-chief of Commercial

Motor Truck & Driver:

“Truckfest is an image booster for the road haulage industry.”

No other event provides access to the so-called ‘moving targets’ who are inaccessible in day to day business. The common denominator is that they all come to Truckfest, whether they be the

big players in the industry such as Eddie Stobart, James Irlam, WM Morrisons, or the smaller operator. Truckfest provides that all important contact point for what is happening within their industry.

The audience research has been consistent in telling us that 65% of visitors to Truckfest are from the road haulage industry and encompass all levels of involvement, when put in context with the amount of visitors who attend each event, it leaves no doubt of the importance of Truckfest to the industry.

Whilst it is good to look back at the last 25 years, Truckfest has always been about looking to the future. It will remain the meeting place for the road haulage industry in years to come.
