Join flexible working experts Timewise and Road to Logistics to discuss attracting and retaining diverse talent
Apr 30, 2025, 1pm - 2.30pm

Flexible working has been in the news a lot. From working from home to part time hours, many workers are looking for some kind of flexibility to help them manage caring responsibilities, health issues or other employment. But in a world where the jobs have to be done in a certain location at a certain time, how can employers in logistics, warehousing and transport support flexibility?

Road to Logistics are joining together with flexible working experts Timewise to host a roundtable event to explore exactly this topic, particularly in the context of the changing legislation in the Employment Rights Bill.

AUDIENCE
This session will be particularly relevant to people working in HR, recruitment or operations roles, but also to employers from smaller organisations looking to widen their offer of flexibility to attract and retain employees.

ROUNDTABLE OBJECTIVES
·

• Define the flexibility workers are looking for and the varied way it can be implemented in different types of roles.
• Outline workers’ rights to flexibility and ways of supporting them to ask for it.
• Share examples of good practice from other employers around offering flexible and secure work
• Showcase the benefits of flexibility for employers to support recruitment and retention.
• Enable participants to discuss the opportunities / challenges this presents them and to learn from each other.

KEY DISCUSION TOPICS

• How easy is it to give people the flexibility they want in our sector?
• Which types of role are harder / easier to adapt?
• Are we doing enough to attract younger workers with different expectations of work into our sector?
• Will the new legislation make it easier or harder to support workers rights?
• Is technology such as self rostering making this easier or harder?

This one-day course will highlight common mistakes that can occur during the planning and design of bus interchanges and infrastructure. Exploring issues that may at first appear minor, but if not identified and addressed early can result in challenging and costly remedial work during the construction and post opening phases of the project. Many of these design issues occur because the designers or those approving the design may lack the specialist knowledge of bus interchange requirements, vehicle manoeuvrability and transport operations.

Taught through practical examples and case studies, the course will provide an introduction to the topic, allowing potential issues to be recognised and removed at the design stage enabling costly and time consuming issues to be avoided.

Day one takes place on 13th May. Day two takes place on 20th May.

The course is built around a mock inquiry for a major urban extension with its core purpose to develop the skills required in preparing and delivering robust and precise proofs of evidence.

Delegates will also gain experience of the additional pressures imposed by speaking in public and dealing with cross-examination, and not forgetting the importance of making arguments clear and simple to understand so that all those present at the inquiry are on an ‘equal footing’.

When: 21 May 2025, 12:00 - 15:00
Where: Freightliner Terminal, Landor Street, Birmingham, B8 1BT
Meeting Point: Terminal reception

Speaker: David Turner – Intermodal Operation Director – Freightliner Group

CILT Retail Forum/East and West Midlands Region is delighted to welcome Freightliner Group, to discuss how rail freight fits into modern UK supply chains and the benefits it can provide in terms of decarbonisation and business efficiency.

Rail Freight is one of the cleanest forms of transporting goods, removing between 76% to 95% carbon per tonne when compared to 44 tonne diesel road.  Freightliner own and operate Rail, Terminal, and Road operations across the UK, offering a single point of contact for complete end to end operations, which provides a seamless transition from Road to Rail, storage and final mile transport for improved UK supply chains. 

Rail can seamlessly integrate with your supply chains and support both seasonal activities and long-term planning. A single freight train removes up to 52 HGVs from our busy road network, allowing road operations to be remodelled for long haul and short haul operations. Operating over 200 trains per day across 10 in-land and port-based terminals, Freightliner can help adapt supply chains for improved costs and ESG benefits with scope 3 reporting.

Freightliner have 60 years of experience in managing and operating rail freight, providing the highest levels of safety and compliance in the industry. Operating right across the UK rail network, Freightliner can customise rail solutions to connect with inland terminals and cross docking through UK train stations with High Speed rail, whilst also providing final mile transportation.

Freightliner are evolving and focusing on simplified and streamlined logistics solutions, developing the knowledge of rail freight across the industry, encouraging more 3PLs and BCOs to consider all the benefits of utilising rail.

• The Bluebell Railway will be hosting the largest Railway 200 event in the South East over the summer, running from June to September
•  The event will feature rail past, present and future
•  Rail Past, at Sheffield Park, will look back at 200 years for rial history
•  Rail present and future will feature today's rail industry with a look forward to what rail will be like in 2075 and its important to net zero
•  We have significant support from the rail industry, and more partners will be added shortly. Confirmed partners include Network Rail, HS2, London Transport Museum, Freightliner, GRT (Southern), The Railway Magazine, London South Bank University and many more.

During June, we will welcome around 18,000 school children to the railway for the 'Education Phase' of our programme. Children will learn about the role railways played in the industrial revolution and the emergence of the modern world, the role rail plays today, rail safety, rail careers, technology in rail and the role of public transport in a net zero Britain.

We are looking for rail logistics companies to help tell the story of rail freight in 2025.

We are also looking for sponsors to subsidise the school visits - these are roughly 50% covered at present. I will send you, separately, a flyer with details of how your members could support school visits to Railway 200.

As you know, careers in rail and logistics offer well paid, secure employment. Diverting even a tiny number of children away from insecure gig employment, or worse, into rail and logistics careers has a very high value to society. NSAR - the National Skills Academy for Rail, used their social value model to calculate the social value of each child's visit to our event. For children from deprived London boroughs, the social value return on investment is 29:1, assuming £12.50 entry and £12.50 travel grant. We're optimistic that we will be offered free travel from London to the Bluebell Railway, which raises the social value return on investment to over 58:1. This makes sponsoring school visits an extremely effective use of CSR funds, as well as offering PR opportunities.

5 June 2025 10:00 – 14:00

The SCALA Annual Supply Chain Debate provides a valuable opportunity for senior professionals to hear from expert speakers and engage in insightful discussions on pressing issues within Supply Chain and Logistics.

SCALA’s 2025 Debate will focus on one of the most pressing topics in modern supply chain management: “Rethinking supply chain globalisation - is it time to shift strategies?”.

In an era of increasing geopolitical tensions, shifting trade policies, and growing physical supply chain disruptions, many businesses are reconsidering their global sourcing strategies.

Join us for the Debate to hear industry experts and thought leaders explore key factors such as: 

• Nearshoring vs. Offshoring – can localised production improve supply chain resilience?
• Geopolitical Risks – how do trade conflicts and regulatory changes impact global supply networks?
• Physical Supply Chain Challenges – from pandemic-related disruptions to transportation bottlenecks, is a global approach still viable?

As always, we have a fantastic line-up of speakers on our panel. Joining us to share their views will be: 

• Professor John Manners-Bell, Founder, Foundation for Future Supply Chain and Author, "The Death of Globalization"
• Kirsty Lantos, Chief Operating Officer, Tangle Teezer
• Jim Gallagher, Supply Chain & Logistics Director, BSH Home Appliances
• Jenn Smiley, Head of Customer Supply & Logistics, Jordans Dorset Ryvita
• Tiger Wang, Chairman, Ocean Business Group, Suzhou

Join us for drinks and networking from 10:00 with the Debate itself commencing at 11:00. A buffet lunch and further networking follows with the event closing at 14:00.
