Transport to ExCeL London and NEC Birmingham — UK venue logistics

How delivery to ExCeL London and NEC Birmingham works: time slots, vehicle bookings, on-site access and cooperation with the organiser.

Delivery to UK fairs such as ExCeL London and NEC Birmingham relies on time slots and booking the vehicle in advance. You have to fit the build-up window, provide vehicle and driver details and the stand number, and entry to the venue follows the organiser’s schedule.

How it works

  • Time slot — booking an unloading window during the build-up days.
  • Vehicle booking — registering the vehicle, driver and cargo per venue rules.
  • Stand details — hall and stand number, contact for the stand builder.
  • On-site delivery — entry within the slot, unloading at the goods gate, removal after breakdown.
  • Clearance and ATA Carnet — closed off before entering the site.

At OPTIMUS TRANSPORT we plan deliveries around UK venue slots. See exhibitions and destinations.
