The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport presents ‘Driving The Future’, a collaboration with ITN Productions

A news-style programme that discusses ideas, challenges perceptions and provides a professional voice to demonstrate how the work within and around the supply chain directly impacts people, society, the environment, business profitability and economic growth.     

The ‘Driving the Future’ shows examples of best practice as well as the exciting and dynamic innovations taking place across the UK and beyond. Behind every great business model and idea, is a supply chain and logistical infrastructure making sure everything runs to time and provides the highest quality output or service. 

Drawing upon ITN’s 60 year heritage and expertise in storytelling, we will look at the extraordinary breadth of the logistics and transport sector to demonstrate that ‘it’s not all about trucks’. We’ll look to understand the processes and challenges involved in the movement of goods and their associated supply chain.

‘Driving the Future,’ also provides a perspective on what the supply chain means for ‘UK plc’ and what CILT and its members do to support society and the economy. 

The news-style piece combines key interviews and news-style reports with sponsored editorial profiles of some of the leading organisations who are working across the supply chain. We thank the many companies who contributed to the film including

• GT Nexus - How does the supply chain affect brand loyalty? -
• BT Supply Chain - Innovative logistics and supply chain solutions -

The aim is to heighten awareness of ‘the invisible profession’ among policy makers, politicians, the private sector and the wider public – to show examples of size and scope of operations within CILT and its support of life-long learning. 

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport presents ‘Tomorrow’s Supply Chain, Today’, a collaboration with ITN Productions

A news-style programme exploring innovations in the modern supply chain.  

In a unique communications partnership, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and ITN Productions are producing a news and current affairs-style programme.

‘Tomorrow’s Supply Chain, Today’ looks at how the modern supply chain is reacting to new challenges and demands. These range from responding to the UK’s increasing consumption of coffee with fast delivery of machines, to accurately and rapidly supplying hospitals with blood stocks. The programme explores how convergences between different elements of the supply chain are improving services, and also examines the challenges posed by government devolution such as the fragmentation of urban supply chains across the UK. Recognising and managing skills shortages and encouraging younger people to enter the sector constitutes another key theme.

‘Tomorrow’s Supply Chain, Today’ is an in-depth, online programme providing a unique platform to stimulate debate. It champions collaboration, celebrates innovation and encourages the exchange of ideas in order to meaningfully communicate the vital work the sector does.

Presented by national newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky, the news-style piece features key industry interviews and news-style reports, along with sponsored editorial profiles of some of the leading organisations in the sector.

A total of nine sponsored news-style reports feature in ‘Tomorrow’s Supply Chain, Today’, championing innovation and forward-thinking sustainable solutions including BITO Storage, Briggs Equipment, Hako Machines, Howard Tenens, Impact, JLL, Michael Page, and ToolsGroup UK.

The programme premiered at the CILT annual conference on June 16th
