Liverpool firm that drove Netball World Cup stars around city celebrates major new contracts

The Liverpool firm who led transport operations at the Netball World Cup is marking 20 years in business - alongside landing another major new contract.

National event transport company INTX operate throughout the UK from their Liverpool headquarters, and won two new major clients at the start of the summer.

Firstly, the firm led transport logistics for the Vitality Netball World Cup 2019 - one of the UK sporting calendar's highlights.

As well as that, the transport provider has also been appointed as official transport partner for The ACC Liverpool Group for all of its major entertainment events and conferences.

According to INTX, it is the only Meetings Industry Association (MIA) accredited transport provider in the UK.

The firm says its impressive client list throughout the country had seen it continue to grow, and it has enjoyed 20% growth year on year for three consecutive years.

INTX Managing Director Andrew Globe told BusinessLive: “INTX has enjoyed incredible growth in recent years and providing a full transport service for an international event such as the Vitality Netball World Cup reflects the reputation the company has built over the last 20 years.

"We are also pleased to be working closely with The ACC Liverpool Group. They have transformed the amount of prominent events and conferences in the city and the transport solutions we can provide reflect that growth in the market in Liverpool.”

The Vitality Netball World Cup saw INTX provide transport for all 16 teams, their support staff, match officials and VIPs throughout the tournament, which ran from July 12 to 21 at the M&S Bank Arena Liverpool.

The company also transferred delegates from netball’s national federations for the International Netball Federation’s congress meeting which took place before the tournament.

On Sunday's final day, New Zealand stunned the 11-time champions Australia to take home the tropy, winning 52-51. England won the bronze medal with their victory over South Africa.

INTX have also been appointed as official transport partner for The ACC Liverpool Group, which includes ACC Liverpool, M&S Bank Arena and Exhibition Centre Liverpool.

The long-term contract with the venues will see INTX grow further to service the annual 750,000 delegates each year who use the venues for national and international conferences and exhibitions and boosting their presence in the city further.

Eddie dos Santos, assistant director of operations at The ACC Liverpool said: "Since appointing INTX as official transport partner for The ACC Liverpool Group, we’ve experienced a high quality service.

"It is vital to have such a trusted and experienced transport supplier we can rely on to provide the best service to our conference delegates and VIPs.”
