On April 10th 2014 the first-ever European Supply Chain Day will take place. The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport is the primary contact point for all UK-based Supply Chain Day activities. 

This is the first time Supply Chain Day events will be held on the same day across Europe and it is sure to be an exciting opportunity to raise awareness of the logistics and supply chain profession.
