I contacted Forest Freight as I desperately needed some bricks moving from Chester to Birmingham.

I was given a competitive quote and was stunned when I was told they could be collected the next day.

Lee was superb and provided me with a tracking code so I could see where the delivery was. The driver was amazing and they were delivered to me by lunchtime the next day (earlier than expected).

Thank you so much.

Would I use them again?

Hell yes I would. Well done all at FF!

What is event logistics?

As an event logistics company, we cover all aspects related to the handling and transportation of your equipment, including the delivery and storage of goods in between events that last a few days. If your event requires shipment for bulk merchandise, technical items or specialist props, our event logistics team will help you to safely transport everything you need to the right venue, without any hold-ups.

What is event logistics management?

Event logistics management supports the full movement and set-up of your promotional goods as well as the operational processes for getting your supplies. Whether your goods require collection, warehousing or distribution, event logistics is specifically designed to help with the smooth running of scheduled events from start to finish. So exhibitors can deliver a successful experience. Whether it’s live event logistics or preparing for the big day, Forest Freight is here to make it happen.

Perfectly located for any event.

Located just 15 minutes away from ExCel London, we’re the number one event logistics company of choice for many when it comes to events across the capital. And with FORS silver-approved, Low Emission Zone compliant vehicles, our fleet is built for city haulage. What’s more, our secondary depot in the North of England makes it easy for us to transport and store goods from across the country.

Nationwide next-day delivery

Organising an event can be a stressful endeavour. Especially when consignments are travelling from all over the country. To make this process as seamless as possible, we offer next-day and overnight delivery services, so goods can arrive exactly when they’re needed.

And for priority consignments within the range of the depot, we can also perform same-day deliveries. You can also track your goods via our online 24/7 tracking service to maintain transparency throughout.

How our event logistics process works

3 Process Events

We collect your equipment or goods from anywhere in the UK — including venues like ExCel London or major ports like London Gateway — and transport them straight to our warehouse just 10 miles from the Central London. We’ve also got a warehouse in Yorkshire, meaning we can support you no matter where your event is in the country.

2 Process Events

Unlike standard hauliers, we don’t just ship. Our logistics team carefully unloads and processes your items at our depot, making sure they’re fully prepped for delivery — whether for setup, breakdown or event handovers. We store goods and equipment securely in our Central London warehouse, as well as our Yorkshire facility. We also work with warehouse providers to pick up and transport your event equipment in the quickest, and safest fashion possible.

1 Process Events

From there, we offer rapid same-day and next-day delivery options. With 24-hour operations and live tracking, your event equipment gets where it needs to be, right on time. We streamline the process to reduce delays, cut costs and keep your event logistics on track — from start to finish.
