History
CEVA Showfreight's origins are with TNT Showfreight, which was officially launched in Atherstone, UK in January 1994 with a specialist team of just four staff. Since those early days Showfreight has developed through acquisition and organic growth into a market leading, multi-country operation. With successful businesses in UK and Netherlands and abroad, Showfreight has become a dynamic leader in the field of event logistics. From those early days with just four staff, Showfreight now employs more than 60 permanent staff and dozens more temporary associates, all of them experts in the event business.
