FOREWORD
by Barbara Ryan, Publishing
Director, Truck and Track
As Truck and Track magazine
continues to grow and reach
an ever-increasing readership, I
sometimes have to pinch myself
to remember that 2019 marks
the 10th anniversary of our first
issue. Me and my small team thank you all for your
support and look forward to the next ten years and
beyond.
Speaking of ongoing success and achievements, in
putting together this latest issue, I realised that this
year’s Multimodal Show (NEC, 18th – 20th June) will
be the 12th staging of the event. During the following
week on 25th and 26th June, Peterborough’s East
of England Arena will host the 9th Temperature
Controlled Storage & Distribution Show (TCS&D). On
the following day (27th June), the Marshall Arena,
Milton Keynes will provide an excellent venue for
the 3rd Talent in Logistics Conference which will be
rounded off with its Awards evening in the adjacent
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. All three milestones
are previewed in this issue and I’m delighted that
the organisers’ efforts in continually delivering
targeted and relevant events are widely recognised
throughout the logistics industry.
Also included in this issue are news items and articles
devoted to the crucial and complementary themes
of Dangerous Goods and Safety & Security. Within
these pages is a wealth of information and advice
relating to a broad range of issues including carriage
of dangerous goods, physical and electronic security,
vehiclemonitoring equipment, documentation in the
digital world and reusable seals to help reduce plastic
waste. We also take a look at latest news from other
industry sectors including ports, rail freight, pallet
networks, workshop equipment, telematics and
battery management.
As you can see, we strive to bring something to
interest and informall our readers across the haulage
and logistics industry. It’s what we’ve been doing for
the past 10 years and we’re confident that the next
decade will provide us with plenty of technological
advances and new developments to keep us just as
busy.
By the way, if you happen to visit Multimodal 2019
(andwhy wouldn’t you?) please drop by the Truck and
Track stand - number 8020 - to say hello. It would be
great to meet you.
