How to improve your company’s logistics and supply chain

Panelists include:
Julian Richards, MD, AKW Group
Geoff Player, director of property, Cooperative Group
Julie McAlinden, director, Cardinal Maritime
Martin Douglas, general manager, Cargill

The logistics sector is a key growth area for the North West in terms of international and national trade. As Insider's breakfast in December proved much is being done to promote Liverpool as a SuperPort and utilise the city's maritime assets. But there is more to be done.

In this panel debate Insider will explore the logistics industry around Manchester and international freight links. A strong orbital motorway network and airport play host to key industrial sites around the city; the Manchester Ship Canal has the capacity to increase water-borne freight through the region and the Port Salford freight interchange proposals provide scope for a shift away from road transport.

If logistics is central to your business and you would like to make your supply chain more efficient and productive please register to attend as places are limited.

Key questions:

  • But what hurdles lie in the way of expansion?
  • Are there enough sites available on the motorway network to cater to this growth?
  • How easy will it be to shift goods off the road in favour of other forms of transportation?
  • And why are plans to expand trans-Pennine rail capability – through the Northern Hub proposals – important for the industry?
  • Can the North West truly be an international logistics hub?
