Road, sea, rail and air transport carriers will meet warehousing, infrastructure, materials and safety suppliers when the inaugural MegaTrans expo takes over the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from May 10-12.
Savills Australia’s national Industrial & Business Services division has signed up for the debut exhibition, with Perth Industrial & Business Services director, James Condon, saying the team was looking forward to sharing its expertise with the 15,000 estimated attendants.
Mr Condon, who has 15 years’ experience in leasing out industrial assets, said the agency was well suited to the MegaTrans vision, with more than 35 agents across Australia and New Zealand, and more than 20 additional operators throughout the Asia Pacific.
“MegaTrans is focused on the transport and logistics sector, which is exactly the space we operate in,” he said.
“We have one of the strongest industrial leasing teams nationally, with more than 150 years combined experience between our state directors, so we therefore have the depth of experience to assist corporate logistics companies with their industrial property needs, both nationally and internationally.”
Mr Condon works closely with NSW Director Darren Curry, Queensland State Director Callum Stenson, SA Director Steve Bobridge, Melbourne South-East Director Kosta Filinis, and VIC Director Greg Jensz to deliver best-in-class industrial leasing solutions across the country.
He said the team could provide one point of contact to assist transport and logistics companies in rolling out their national warehouse requirements with confidence and confidentiality.
Throughout MegaTrans, the team will hand out booklets showcasing the top four warehouses for lease in each of the states.
“The brochure will evolve to highlight our extensive experience working with national groups to roll out their warehouse requirements,” Mr Condon said.
“We are also having a Daytona car racing arcade machine for passers-by as a novelty attraction to come and spend some time with us,” Mr Condon said.
Mr Condon said the primary purpose of getting involved in this year’s MegaTrans exhibition was to promote the Savills brand and highlight the agency’s strong expertise in the industrial sector.
“We want to assist our clients to lease their properties where they have vacancy, and build relationships with the tenants who will be at the MegaTrans expo,” he said.
“It’s a prime opportunity sell our expertise in assisting companies to source and secure warehouse space, whether it be for existing properties or on a build-to-suit basis.”
Mr Condon said MegaTrans had potential to become an annual event on the Savills calendar.
“MegaTrans appears to be an event that can target the majority of our current and future clients in one place,” he said.
