The UK Material Handling Association (UKMHA) has announced the return of its showpiece awards celebrating excellence across the material handling and intralogistics sector.
The Archies is one of the highlights of the UK material handling calendar and for 2025 the event will be extra special as it takes place alongside the industry’s showpiece exhibition, IMHX.
Taking place on Wednesday 10th September at The Vox Conference Centre, within the Resorts World complex, at the NEC Birmingham – the host venue for IMHX 2025.
IMHX 2025, which is headline sponsor for The Archies 2025, takes place between 9-11 September 2025, ensuring the Archies will be able to draw on an influential audience of material handling decision-makers and other stakeholders.
Hosting the Archies during the trade show also creates a vibrant evening centrepiece to the exhibition, offering a unique opportunity to honour the best in the industry and celebrate excellence.
Rob Fisher, CEO of the UKMHA, said: “We believe that IMHX is an ideal headline sponsor for the 2025 Archies’ awards.
"Both events serve a similar purpose – to demonstrate that the material handling and intralogistics industry is regarded as one of the UK’s most crucial sectors and to support the industry with effective networking opportunities.”
