FPC Brings Fresh Energy to Multimodal 2026

Multimodal 2026 will welcome a fresh new voice to the logistics and supply chain conversation this year as the Fresh Produce Consortium (FPC) confirms its participation in the event.

Taking place from 30 June – 2 July at the NEC Birmingham, the UK’s leading supply chain and logistics exhibition will feature FPC for the first time, bringing the dynamic and fast-moving world of fresh produce logistics into the spotlight.

Representing the UK’s fresh fruit, vegetable, cut flower and plant supply chain, FPC will showcase the critical role that efficient logistics plays in keeping Britain supplied with perishable goods.

The organisation will also highlight the sector’s unique challenges around border processes, cold-chain management, sustainability and international trade.

Visitors to the event will be able to meet the FPC team on the exhibition floor in partnership with several of FPC’s members, learn more about the challenges facing the fresh produce supply chain and explore opportunities for collaboration across logistics, transport, technology and trade.

As part of the programme, Nigel Jenney, Chief Executive of FPC, will take to the stage as one of the event’s key speakers, sharing insight into the operational realities of moving fresh produce through complex global supply chains.

Nigel Jenney, Chief Executive of FPC, said: “Fresh produce logistics is one of the most demanding supply chains in the world. Products are highly perishable, timelines are incredibly tight, and the sector is heavily influenced by international trade policy and border procedures.

“We are delighted to be bringing the Fresh Produce Consortium to Multimodal 2026 and to introduce a fresh perspective to the conversation. The event provides an excellent platform to connect the logistics community with the businesses responsible for keeping Britain stocked with fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants every day.” 

FPC’s presence at the exhibition will underline the scale and importance of the UK’s fresh produce supply chain, which relies on seamless collaboration between growers, importers, logistics providers, ports, airlines and retailers.

Event organisers say the addition of FPC reflects the growing importance of temperature-controlled and time-sensitive supply chains within the wider logistics landscape.

Robert Jervis, Event Director at Clarion Events, organisers of Multimodal, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Fresh Produce Consortium to Multimodal 2026. The fresh produce sector represents one of the most sophisticated and time-critical supply chains anywhere in the world, and its presence will bring valuable insight for our visitors and exhibitors.

“Nigel Jenney is a highly respected voice in the industry, and we are very pleased that he will be joining our speaker programme to share his expertise.”

With thousands of supply chain professionals expected to attend, Multimodal 2026 will provide a major platform for dialogue between logistics providers and the fresh produce sector — a partnership that is essential to ensuring that fresh food continues to move efficiently from field to fork.
