What is East Midlands Freeport?

Join the CILT (UK) for a joint West and East Midlands Regional Group Event to find out a little more

– East Midlands Freeport : A Platform for Growth – A view from the Planners & Maersk, a Major Operator, hosted from their new site at East Midlands Gateway

Of interest to a wide range of members from transport, logistics & transport planning backgrounds, this is a unique opportunity to hear about the plans for the Development of East Midlands Freeport (originally granted in 2021), endorsed by the new Labour Government in the October 2024 budget.

We have three first class speakers, Jon Rawcliffe from East Midlands Freeport & Will Morlidge from the East Midlands Combined County Authority Authority (EMCCA) who will fill us in on the background, history, funding & future plans for the Freeport and its importance to the Local & Regional economy, and finally from our hosts, A.P. Moller – Maersk where @David Kennedy-Browne FCILT will give us the views of a major operator, currently making use of the Freeport & their plans for growth.

The event will be hosted by Maersk from their brand new office complex at their recently opened East Midland Gateway Distribution Centre.

23 January 2025, 18:00 – 21:00
