6 What our exhibitors say For MSC, Multimodal presents a great opportunity to join with our industry peers, foster our customer relationships and develop new business opportunities. The work of Robert Jervis and his team, to host this event each year, is a real asset to our industry. Multimodal enables businesses like ours to continue to develop commercial presence through the recent difficult trading period, and is testament to Robert s vision, determination and understanding of our industry. Dan Everitt, Managing Director Attending Multimodal it couldn t have been better timing for us. With Modal Training set to open our state-of-the-art training facility later this year, having the opportunity to meet and listen to so many of our future customers was incredibly helpful. Not only did the exhibition allow us to raise awareness of who we are and what we do, but it was an invaluable opportunity to talk to industry professionals and discuss their training needs in depth. Multimodal proved to be the perfect opportunity to meet industry leaders from across the road, rail, sea and air sectors, as well as a full range of support services, and helped us to establish relationships with a number of businesses.
