The new contract is currently being activated throughout the first quarter of 2015. The partnership will see Agility work with organisers, exhibitors and visitors, supplying services such as global freight forwarding, equipment operation, storage and receiving and dispatching event and exhibit materials.
David Pegler, chief executive of Excel, said: "Over the next three years, Excel will benefit from Agility’s network of more than 500 locations across the world, helping to boost the experience for organisers and exhibitors. Our partnership with Agility is another example of how we continue to invest, putting the needs of our customers at the heart of everything we do.
"The attraction of London and our track record of success mean we host more world-leading events than ever before, increasing the number of international organisers, exhibitors and visitors. Our partnership with Agility allows our customers and exhibitors access to cross border logistics resulting in time and cost savings, offering more sustainable logistics solutions."
David Richards, managing director for Agility, added: "Agility has been working with Excel since 2012 as its non-exclusive preferred freight operator. The new official logistics partner status given to Agility is a testament to our successful track record of delivering world-class logistics and shipping services that meet the demanding needs of the event industry."
