The British Motor Museum met this brief with its unique and impressive rooftop ‘Sky Suite’. Delegates were able to enjoy a private reception and bar area as well as a roof terrace; offering panoramic views across the Warwickshire countryside.

This tied in perfectly with the event’s theme for the day, “The Future of Supply Chain and Logistics” with key note speakers commenting on future challenges and opportunities in logistics.
