When: 9th July 2024, 17:30 - 19:00Where: Zoom MeetingSpeaker: Ed Wills FCILT, Managing Director, Brighton & Hove BusesOrganised horse bus routes first began running in Brighton and Hove around the middle of the 19th Century particularly once the London railway arrived in 1841.It was in 1935 that Tilling formed a new separate company the Brighton, Hove & District Omnibus Company Ltd (BH&D) as an autonomous subsidiary of the parent group. Buses were branded as Brighton, Hove & District and continued to run alongside the Corporation’s trams and the motor buses run by Southdown. It’s pleasing that nearly 90 years later, the Company is still locally branded and, as then, is an autonomous subsidiary of a London based parent – the Go-Ahead Group – which, like Tilling, has transport interests in London and other parts of the UK. Much has happened in the intervening years, and Ed Wills, Managing Director, will outline the company’s plans for the future.Booking for Members-FREETo book scroll to the bottom of this page, tick the T & C's box and click Book on event, if you have any difficulties email us at regions@ciltuk.org.uk quoting event code: SER0362 with your Full name, title and company and we will book your place for you.Booking for Non Members - £5.00 inc.

When: 18 October 2024, 10:00 - 15:00Where: Diamond House, Main gate. Harwell Science & Innovation Campus, Fermi Ave, Didcot, OX11 0DE, UK Speaker: Mick Conmy FCILT, Diamond-II Logistics Manager
Attendance will be limited to a maximum of 36 and attendees will be vetted by Diamond Light Source prior to confirmation.
The UK’s largest particle accelerator is undergoing a upgrade programme starting next year and running through to 2029, it is the largest ever investment in UK science. It will involve construction of a new, even brighter synchrotron machine, which is essentially a giant microscope, producing light 10 billion times brighter than the sun. The light is directed, via beamlines, into laboratories where research takes place in virtually all fields of science from health to energy.
To underpin this a logistics plan is currently being designed that creates a network of local and remote storage, kitting and assembly operations from scratch. A project team will handle the receipt, assembly and despatch of 17,000 SKUs of largely bespoke scientific instrumentation. Much of this is both very heavy and extremely sensitive. At the same time there will be a complex and overlapping extraction and removal process. Metal recycling will also form a big part of this project. Diamond Light Source, along with CILT Defence Forum and Central Southern Region will run a workshop to scope the art of the possible and look for innovative movement and temporary storage solutions for this project. Defence heavy-lift and expeditionary storage experts are already engaged in this, but wider industry experts are sought to workshop ideas about the most appropriate strategy to apply to this unique endeavour. After an initial briefing, there will be a descriptive tour of the facility giving unprecedented access to the current particle accelerator. The workshop will then discuss concepts and exchange ideas about how to approach the programme. The workshop will be held in the Diamond Light Source boardroom.
