A great opportunity to explore the topics of diversity and inclusion whilst networking with Women in Logistics members and non-members. We are also delighted to be able to offer the opportunity to visit Primark’s logistics operations at Islip, Kettering.
Today Primark operate in more than 330 stores in 11 countries across Europe and America, buying in volume from over 700 suppliers in 37 countries. Since 2013, warehouse capacity has doubled, Primark currently operates from eight distribution centres. In 2016 they opened their first in-house distribution centre in Islip, Northamptonshire, the site has 1.1 million sq. ft. of space – the equivalent of 17 football pitches. It has 13 miles of aisles. And it’s a 24/7 operation powered by over 250 committed colleagues.
Our guest speaker is Elaine Sullivan. Elaine seeks to help businesses and organisations to look to their policy of diversity and inclusion, be pragmatic in their approach, and ensure that every employee is treated as an individual rather than a tick-box exercise. She has a true passion for researching the key aspects of diversity and the amazing shift that an inclusive approach can create for a business.
The session starts at 3.30pm with Registration (with coffee/tea). We aim to close by 6pm.
If you wish to visit the site, participants are requested to bring their own safety shoes – a limited number may be available on the day.
