Huthwaite-based Taylors Transport Group are the logistics partner to Ice Tech UK (ITUK) for the second successive year, supplying transport services for Nottingham city centre’s Winter Wonderland, in association with Mellors Group Events.

The event, which opens on Wednesday, 13th November until 31st December, will see a festive transformation of the city’s famous Old
Market Square over the next few weeks.

Providing the transport to Ice Tech UK over the last few weeks has been a major undertaking for the Ashfield company.

The build of the famous Sky Skate, which was introduced in 2022, towers above the Winter Wonderland ice rink, ice bar, Sur La Piste, Altitude ski bars, and toboggan run.

With planned time slots and locations to arrive in the city centre to drop off loads and then get out of the Old Market Square, it has been like a military operation for both Taylors Transport Group drivers, Ice Tech UK operatives, and staff on site. During the first two weeks of build there has
been more than 60 articulated lorry deliveries, with over 300 crane lifts in this time too – all involving more than 100 staff to build, excluding delivery drivers.

Southwell-based ITUK has been involved in the event since 2019.
