In an industry full of massive trade shows and impersonal exhibitions, IWLEX and YARDX offer something refreshingly different: two co-located, highly focused events built around real challenges, real conversations, and real solutions.
Taking place on 3–4 June 2025 at NAEC Stoneleigh, these shows provide a space for the UK’s warehousing, logistics, and yard professionals to come together —not only to source new suppliers, but to learn, connect, and collaborate.
Designed for Operational Decision-Makers
The events are expecting over 1,500 vetted visitors from across key industries including retail, manufacturing, 3PL, ecommerce, food and drink, construction, and more.
Previous attendees include professionals from Amazon UK, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Morrisons, Boots, Nestlé, DHL, JD Sports, Rolls-Royce, Mars, Caterpillar, Wincanton, DPD, and Jaguar Land Rover, among many others, ranging from SME’s to large global brands.
Attendees range from:
•Warehouse & Yard Managers
•Transport & Fleet Managers
•H&S and Compliance Leads
•Facilities and Operations Managers
•Procurement & Supply Chain Directors
Two Free Conferences. One Powerful Learning Opportunity.
Both IWLEX and YARDX feature their own free-to-attend, independently themed conference programmes — carefully crafted to focus on real-world insight, not corporate fluff.
Centred around the theme: “Everything you wish you knew but were afraid to ask!”
You can expect practical, experience-led content from industry practitioners who’ve delivered in the field.
Speakers include:
•John Munnelly, Distribution Director at John Lewis & Partners
•Marie Hamblin, Digital Supply Chain Programme Manager at Harrods
•Conor Hickey, Head of Outsourced Operations at Currys
•Dionne Redpath, Group COO at Europa
•Plus senior leaders from DHL, Nestlé, and innovative SMEs
Whether it’s automation, sustainability, safety culture, workforce development, or AI in logistics, these sessions deliver practical value you can apply.
Exhibitors: From Intralogistics to Total Operational Support
While IWLEX has always had a strong focus on intralogistics and automation, the launch of YARDX has expanded the scope and diversity of the exhibition significantly.
Now, alongside robotics, conveyors, forklifts, and racking, the event features:
•Facilities Management providers
•Safety product specialists
•On-site service and security solutions
•Traffic management and vehicle flow technologies
It’s not just about what’s inside the warehouse — it’s also about managing your yard operations, external environment, vehicle movements, and site safety.
Smarter Software for Smarter Operations
Another major draw in 2025 is the growing presence of WMS and YMS providers, reflecting the demand for smarter, unified logistics platforms.
You’ll discover powerful tools for:
•Warehouse picking & inventory scheduling
•Real-time yard visibility and vehicle tracking
•A broad choice of YMS and WMS suppliers.
Expect to meet exhibitors showcasing next-gen logistics platforms that allow you to plan, monitor, and optimise everything from goods-in to goods-out — whether you’re running a small facility or a multi-site operation.
Built on Values, Not Just Volume
IWLEX and YARDX aren’t just another date in the diary. These are purpose-driven events built with values at their core.
The organisers are proud to support:
•Women in Logistics, who will be present onsite
•Official charities Road to Logistics and TransAid
•The inspiring Neurodiversity in Logistics Show, promoting inclusion and awareness across the sector
These initiatives reflect a genuine commitment to progress and positive impact, not just business as usual.
Easy central location for a national show.
The event is hosted at NAEC Stoneleigh – just 3 miles from Coventry Station, with free parking. Whether you come for a full day, two days or a few hours, you’ll walk away with fresh ideas, new business contacts, and real value. There’s nothing better than seeing new products and services in real life and there are multiple show offers and show firsts!
Support Something Special – Come Along, Get Involved.
The organisers are inviting the industry to support this special annual event — not just by attending, but by participating in a growing, values-led movement within the logistics and warehousing space.
Come along, meet your peers, and see what makes us different.
