Speaker: Guy Bates, Head of freight development, Network Rail

In the early ‘90s London was planned to be ringed by a series of ‘Strategic Rail Freight Interchanges (SRFIs)’ where materials would be transported by rail and locally delivered by road, and Redhill was indicated as the best location to the south of London.

Guy Bates, Network Rail’s Head of Freight Development will reflect on why that didn’t happen and what lessons can be drawn from that.  As we seek to decarbonise of supply chains Guy will outline how those lessons can be applied to support future modal shift in the next decade.

Speaker: Noel Travers, Chairman of the Railway Industry Association / Managing Director of Xrail Group



"The future of rail to the background of high uncertainty" 

Building partnerships - the vital role played by the rail supply chain.


Xrail Group is a provider of design, assurance, installation, commissioning and maintenance services for rail signalling, telecoms, and minor lineside equipment, with operations in the UK, Saudi Arabia and Spain. Noel joined this SME in May 2021 as Managing Director with a remit to develop a UK offering to match its international businesses and elevating its engagement in the sector, whilst improving its governance and professionalising its operations.

Noel took on an additional role at the start of June as Chairman of the Railway Industry Association,  the voice of the rail supply community, representing over 360 members from across the supply chain.

After leaving Unipart Group in 2020, Noel set up his own consultancy business, providing Interim Executive support to the rail sector. Noel continues to provide support to a small number of SMEs to help them to develop their business in the rail sector in the UK and overseas.

In July 2016, Noel joined Unipart Group as MD of its rail division and took on the additional responsibility for Unipart Manufacturing Group in January 2019. In this role, Noel was responsible for all of Unipart’s manufacturing businesses in the rail and automotive sectors and the supply chain business in the rail sector, operating in the UK, the US, Saudi Arabia and Australia.

Noel joined Bombardier Transportation in 2008 as Sales Director for the Passengers Division in the UK, then added South Africa into his responsibility in 2011. In 2013 Noel moved into the Project Management function as VP Project Management, taking full P&L responsibility for all Electrostar new build projects. At the start of 2014, Noel added P&L responsibility for all Electrostar maintenance contracts into his Portfolio. In June 2014 Noel was asked to take over the role as Head of Project Management and Managing Director UK, responsible for the UK manufacturing and services business, excluding Crossrail and LU projects.

Prior to Bombardier Transportation, Noel worked for the Royal Bank of Scotland, where he was Senior Director, Transport and Infrastructure, in its Structured Asset Finance business. In this role, Noel was responsible for all “non-RoSCo” rail asset financing internationally. Before RBS, Noel was a Vice President at GATX Capital Corporation, where he was responsible for business development in the European market, and for managing GATX Capital’s existing portfolio of European rail investments. Earlier in his career, Noel held various engineering and management posts in the pre and post privatisation British Rail.

Noel is a Chartered Engineer, and Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and holds a BEng in Mechanical Engineering from Loughborough University and a MSc in Rail Systems Engineering from the University of Sheffield. Noel is currently immediately past Chair of the Railway Division of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

Join us for our 2nd annual Net Zero and Resilience Summit, where four leading organisations are once again uniting forces to drive progress in the vital areas of Net Zero and Climate Resilience.

Proudly brought to you by the East of England Local Government Association, England’s Economic Heartland, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and Transport East, this summit promises to be an enlightening and action-oriented event.

Together, we are dedicated to tackling the pressing challenges of climate change head-on, and through collaboration and innovation, we aim to pave the way for a sustainable future. By bringing together key stakeholders from various sectors, including government, industry, and academia, we will explore cutting-edge solutions, share best practices, and chart a course towards a resilient and carbon-neutral future.

The East of England has a unique set of environmental opportunities and challenges. Our region produces half of the UK’s offshore wind energy and has plans to do much more. However, the East of England is the most susceptible region in the country to the impacts of climate change including coastal erosion and drought. Furthermore, car ownership levels are extremely high due, largely, to our region’s rurality. This has a massive impact on carbon emissions.

At the 2024 East of England Net Zero and Climate Resilience Summit, partners from the public and private sector, will come together to explore the following themes:

• Decarbonising rural connectivity
• Green economy and skills
• Behaviour change
• Building climate resilience
• Net zero freight and logistics
• Farming and land use
• The role of hydrogen
• Finance and equality

The full day event will be an opportunity to hear from influential speakers and attend workshop sessions.

Speakers

 
The following speakers are confirmed, with more to be announced soon and an agenda to follow shortly:

• Kerry McCarthy MP, Shadow Minister for Climate Change
• Julie Marson MP, MP for Hertford and Stortford
• Cllr Peter Schwier, Chair of the Regional Climate Change Forum and Climate Czar, Essex County Council
• Professor Roderick Watkins, Vice Chancellor of Anglia Ruskin University
• Professor Yvonne Barnett, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and Innovation), Anglia Ruskin University
• Vikram Singla FCILT, Chair of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and Digital Transformation Director and Sustainability Ambassador at Oracle
• Greg Pearson, Partnership Manager, Norfolk Climate Change Partnership

Audience:

 
Ministers and MPs, Councillors and council officers, academia, private sector and third sector industry partners in the East of England.

Please register your details below to confirm your attendance at this year’s East of England Net Zero and Climate Resilience Summit on the 18 July 2024. Places are on a first come, first serve basis. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation shaping our collective response to the climate crisis. Join us as we work towards a world where Net Zero is not just a goal, but a reality. Together, we can make a difference.

About the workshop

As a part of our Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and InterAct (UKRI) funded research project, we are running a workshop focused on collaborating to adopt and upskill digital technologies in manufacturing. There is a current lack of key digital technology skills in many UK manufacturers, yet an increasing need for these skills. This workshop would benefit manufacturers, local authorities, education providers and technology companies seeking innovative approaches to enhance digital skills and promote the adoption of industrial digital technologies in the UK. Our multi-disciplinary team of researchers from the University of Derby, Loughborough University, Teesside University, and Durham University aims to support manufacturing digital technology adoption and upskilling by linking manufacturers, digital technology companies, service/training providers, policymakers, and communities.

This initiative could be highly beneficial for your company and your suppliers, particularly if they struggle to learn about and adopt new technologies or find the right talent to use digital technologies. You are invited to join our workshop and to register your attendance, simply complete the short registration form.
