New conference aims to help senior business leaders navigate the recovery
The resilience of the UK's supply chains was tested as never before during the pandemic and demonstrated how reliant UK plcPLC is on their continued success.
Logistics UK has announced the launch of a new, free to attend, invitation-only conference: Supply Chain Resilience. The event will arm senior business leaders with the insight they need to navigate the challenging logistics environment, protect their operations against global and national supply chain pressures, and maximise the opportunities of advancing technologies and government assistance programmes.
EXAMINING INDUSTRY RESILIENCE POST PANDEMIC
To be held on 30 March 2022 at the America Square Conference Centre in London and to be chaired by Phil Roe, Chief Customer Officer at DHL Supply Chain, expert speakers including Professor Alan McKinnon will examine industry resilience post-COVID-19 and reflect on lessons learned; the ongoing implications of the UK’s departure from the EU will also be explored. Sessions will also include a review of the preparedness of the industry as it strives to meet decarbonisation targets, resilience in the face of a skills shortage, and the opportunities and assistance provided by new technologies and government financial support, from a range of high-profile speakers. The event is sponsored by Quincus.
LEADING SUPPLY CHAIN EXPERT TO PRESENT
James Wroath, the CEO of Wincanton, (pictured) the leading supply chain business which employs over 20,000 people, has been confirmed as a speaker at the conference. He will be presenting on how business leaders can protect their operations against present challenges and future shocks as the economy emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wroath said: “The importance of supply chains to the success of the UK has never been more apparent than it is now. As we look forward to a period of economic recovery and renewal in 2022, building further supply chain resilience is essential for British business to succeed, and for the public sector to deliver world-class services. During the session, I will share my principles for developing long-term resilience, using the pillars of innovation, talent, sustainability, collaboration, and visibility.”
PREPARING LOGISTICS LEADERS FOR FUTURE PRESSURES
David Wells, Chief Executive of Logistics UK, comments: “From operating during a global pandemic to adapting to new trading arrangements following the UK’s departure from the EU, logistics businesses have faced challenge after challenge but have risen to each new pressure with determination and courage. Supply Chain Resilience will be an essential event for all senior business leaders involved in logistics, helping them to prepare their operations for present and future national and global pressures, in addition to reflecting on past lessons learned.
