The TCS&D Show, the UK’s only dedicated cold chain exhibition and conference, will take place at the East of England Arena in Peterborough on 7th and 8th September. This year the TCS&D Show celebrates 40 years since its inception in 1981 and the Cold Chain Federation is pleased to support the Show by running TCS&D’s Cold Chain Hub seminar area.

Cold Chain Federation Chief Executive Shane Brennan said: “I’m really looking forward to getting together in person with Cold Chain Federation members and friends at the TCS&D Show in September. As an industry we have plenty to reflect on but the Show will also be a great chance to look ahead to new opportunities and discuss new ideas.
“The Cold Chain Hub seminars will be full of discussion, opinion and advice about not just the most important issues for the cold chain for today but also the challenges and opportunities coming down the track. I have no doubt our expert speakers and their discussions will be engaging and insightful, as we gather at last to look to our industry’s future together.”
