WMX Europe 2023

 

Over the years, we’ve exhibited at various Triangle events, with the last being in Hong Kong, October 2019, pre-covid.  Triangle’s, World Mail & Express events have taken on a new direction in line with industry changes, previously focused on international mail, whereas now they’re very much concentrating on all things eCommerce covering the latest industry topics and innovations.

This year’s Europe event was held in Tallinn, Estonia with over 200 delegates registering to attend. The event offered two packed days with 30+ speakers, networking breakout sessions and a variety of exhibitors, including UKPW.

During the event, Lee, Guy and Paul spoke with delegates on our exhibition stand about customs clearance and returns management including duty reclaim service. In between attending seminars and manning our exhibition stand, they caught up with familiar faces, whilst also connecting with new industry and customer prospects.

Guy Cliffe, Sales Director says: “The audience for this show has changed since we last exhibited pre-Covid, as it has had to adapt as the industry has moved from post to parcels (just like UKPW!), so it was a great opportunity to network with some new companies and find out more about future trends in the eCommerce market. We also picked up some useful leads, so watch this space as we now try and onboard some more new customs clearance customers”.

Paul Taylor, Business Strategy & Finance Director says: “Whilst there were some familiar faces amongst the attendees there were lots of new suppliers and customers who we were able to engage with. It was great to see some of the new innovative solutions being employed around the world with a lot of focus on sustainability which can only be a good thing. A special mention needs to be made for the Ukrainian Post led by Igor Smelyanski for keeping mail and parcels moving in probably one of the most challenging environments in the world”. 

Triangle’s European event is also home to their World Post & Parcel Awards ceremony, presenting our team the opportunity to don their tuxedos and unwind with fellow exhibitors.

Our next planned exhibition is Triangle, Kuala Lumpur, 18-20th September.
