Agility, a leading global logistics provider, has been awarded a new contract by ExCeL London to be its exclusive supplier of logistics services. The contract was awarded after an extensive tender process.

Under the new three-year contract, Agility Fairs & Events will partner with ExCeL to provide event organizers, exhibitors and contractors with specialist event transportation and logistics, pre- and post-show storage, on-site receiving and delivery, forklift/mechanical handling equipment, and customer logistics advice and support.

In 2012, Agility Fairs & Events re-located its London-based team to ExCeL, making it the only logistics company on-site with staff offices and warehouse facilities. Being based at ExCeL gives Agility unrivalled knowledge of the facility and the ability to cater for any logistics requirements on-site or anywhere in the world via its global network of more than 500 offices.

Agility has been working with ExCeL London since 2012 as its non-exclusive preferred freight operator. The new ˜Official Logistics Partner' status given to Agility is a testament to our successful track record of delivering world-class logistics and shipping services that meet the demanding needs of the exhibition, conference and events industry, said David Richards, Managing Director for Agility Fairs & Events UK.

On behalf of ExCel London, David Pegler, CEO, said: We are delighted to be working with Agility as our Official Logistics Partner and look forward to a long and successful relationship. Agility's global network and local presence, combined with its knowledge of the exhibition and conference world, make it an outstanding partner for ExCeL.

ExCeL London, the international exhibition and convention centre, is the host venue for a variety of events, from award-winning exhibitions and conferences to international association meetings, product launches, banquets, award ceremonies, and sporting events.
