• Anna Delvecchio, Development Director – Transportation UK &Europe, Mott MacDonald.

Following our successful evening with Megan Yeates (Gold Medal Winner in Freight Forwarding and Logistics at WorldSkills Kazan 2019) earlier this season, we are proud to be able to bring you an event with Paul Sainthouse, our President, and Anna Delvecchio from Mott MacDonald who was voted Woman of the Year at the 2018 FTA Everywoman in Transport and Logistics Awards.  Anybody who has met Anna will attest to her dynamism and getting to the heart of important sector issues whilst delivering the outcomes.

Anna is passionate about what our profession can do to bring on young, more diverse talent and attract aspiring individuals into our ranks.  She will have an open discussion with Paul about what our profession could and should do better, and the role the CILT has to play in that; how the institute’s (and wider commerce and industry’s) priorities match the needs of important sectors of our community, and what REAL action, rather than words, will we see in the next year?

If you have an interest in Next Generation, Diversity and Inclusion then this is a must-see event.  Join the debate in the online Q&A session and get your perspective seen too!

Speaker: Captain Marc Evans MSc MBA FCILT RN. Chief of Staff, Directorate of People & Training Navy HQ and CILT MOD Champion



The UK’s global credibility and influence is threatened by those who would seek to undermine our readiness, alliances and national objectives through a broad spectrum of threats which degrade the ability to influence and gain initiative. Forward Presence is the innovative and adaptive utility of Force Elements to operate for extended periods at considerable distance from recognised support nodes, without the requirement for additional permanent basing.  

Captain Marc Evans has spent 35 years in the Royal Navy’s Logistics Branch. He is a former Logistics Commander in the UK Carrier Strike Group and former Fleet Logistics Officer in the Navy Command Headquarters. This presentation will provide an overview of some of the ways that increased and persistent presence, delivered as part of the strategic ‘Global Britain’ approach by forward deploying FEs in strategic locations, will be sustained through a global maritime support framework.
