Howdens Joinerylogo_spon_howdens

Howdens Joinery is always looking for ways to develop its people to ensure they are kept up to date with internal and external best ways of working. The Corporate Membership has helped to improve individual’s external knowledge and motivated their ways of working to implement and share new knowledge gained from attending networking sessions and workshops. The teams who work within our Supply Chain have also gained more information of what’s available externally to develop their technical skills through mail shots , giving them visibility to opportunities that may meet their needs.

K HartwallK Hartwall Logo

K Hartwall have been a corporate member of the CILT for 3 years and continue to benefit from our membership.  Initially we joined the institute to widen our own awareness in the logistics industry and to also broaden our network of contacts with the industry.  To date through the CILT we have had the opportunity to engage with market leading corporate members and the wider CILT Membership that includes a real mix of participants from Board to shop floor providing a breadth of knowledge and experience.  Since joining we have also found that the many events organised through the Institute provide excellent information about the current and future industry.  The range of access includes site visits to world class distribution centres and manufacturing sites, talks on how the industry is changing in retail and the impact on logistics, to engaging speakers discussing how logistics in managed to support our armed.  The world of logistics has never been more challenging and evolving as quickly as it is today and the debates, information and knowledge shared through the CILT help us at K Hartwall to maintain a level of awareness we could not hope to gain elsewhere.

Siemens Logistics

Joining CILT as a corporate member has been very beneficial to our business. Our aim was to increase the awareness of AX4, a product of AXIT Gmbh who Siemens purchased 3 years ago. To do this we needed physical representation which is where I come in but also supply chain and logistic recognition and brand awareness. Corporate membership enabled us to use the corporate “Roundtable” conference format to garner more interest and address issues that challenge the supply chain environment. It’s a great process and gives us access to CILT members who have an interest in some of the areas we are developing such as , Digitalization, Big Data, Industry 4.0, Supply Chain Visibility and Collaboration.  To maximise the interest for members, you advise CILT of the reason for the roundtable, the areas of interest to their members, such as logistics or air/sea /rail, passenger transport etc and the format of the event, this is by means of their pre booking form. CILT advise a notice of about 3 – 4 months to avoid  events clashing with similar. CILT mail-shot their database with details of the event enabling members to register, information which is passed on to our events team. We have gained a huge amount of interest from the last two events we have organised and are in the throes of organising our next one in April 2019.
Phil Lavin, Consultant Supply Chain
 

We value the events which are organized by CILT which are always good opportunities for learning and networking.  They aGB_logo_fullre always enjoyable and well organized.  It’s a great opportunity to connect informally with friends in the industry and to exchange views and ideas.

CILT encourages and provides opportunities for our people to engage with the wider logistics community and to broaden their knowledge of developments in the sector.
