Cold Chain Federation provides a unique, non-competitive space where temperature-controlled storage and distribution businesses (and those that supply, advise or regulate them) can come together to meet online or in person, learn, problem-solve and be inspired together.
We have an exciting series of online and in-person events with lots of opportunities for members to get involved with, showcase products and learn about the topics that matter to the cold chain. DOWNLOAD YOUR COPY OF THE 2025 BROCHURE HERE
There are opportunities for all members to get involved in all of our events, so please get in touch with Rachel Nunn to find out how.
