The Retail Forum

The Retail Forum aims to be a forum for those working for, or very closely with, retailers particularly within the areas of planning and execution of the physical movement of goods from supplier to the final customer, and where necessary back.

To get involved with your industry specific Forum and to ensure you receive information about our events, qualifications and news most relevant to you, all you have to do when becoming a CILT member is select the Retail Logistics Forum when making your Professional Sector and Forum selections.

Michael leads CHEP Europe’s focus on new reusable packaging solutions and on end-to-end grocery supply chain efficiency. He also chairs the Collaboration & Co-operation thematic Group for ALICE, focused on decarbonising freight transport across the EU. He is particularly interested in industry leadership: what are the critical few areas where progress is both imperative and cannot be delivered by individual companies acting alone?
