Mark your calendars for the most anticipated trade gathering in the UK and Ireland’s liquid fuel distribution sector. The 2025 SHOW will take place on 14 May 2025 at the First Direct Arena in Leeds. With the theme ‘Be Part of the Solution’, this one-day event promises to shape the future of our industry.
Following the resounding success of EXPO 2024 in Liverpool, which saw record-breaking visitor numbers, the UKIFDA Show 2025 is the second of the biennial one-day format, following the popular event in Coventry 2023.
Phillips 66 returns as the event’s main sponsor, ensuring a high-calibre gathering of industry experts all under one roof.
The exhibition space will provide ample room for networking and showcasing the latest advancements. From national companies to independent distributorships, attendees will have the opportunity to explore cutting-edge technology, data-driven software solutions, new fuel and tanker options, as well as innovative equipment from the sector’s evolving supply chain.
Ken Cronin, CEO of UKIFDA and event organiser, stated, “Always innovative in our approach, for 2025, we’re introducing some new features to keep the format fresh.”
A ‘Speakers Corner’ will host concise and informative sessions on crucial topics such as rebated fuel legislation, sustainable fuel developments and the evolving political landscape, with a full agenda for the whole day to be announced. The interactive WHOVA Show App will streamline registration and facilitate communication before and during the event.
Ken Cronin elaborated, “Elevating the networking experience further, the 2025 Show concludes with the UKIFDA Gathering. This innovative evening format replaces the formal dinner with a more dynamic evening—a fitting finale to a day of industry insights and innovation.”
The ticket-only event will feature a drinks reception followed by a relaxed dining experience featuring gourmet bowl food, encouraging a more interactive format – perfect for relationship building. The evening will also include casino tables to add a bit of fun and complimentary drink vouchers.
The popular annual UKIFDA awards will take place throughout the day and evening, adding an extra dimension to the event.
