Leaders and emerging talent from across the industry gathered this week for the first Women in Supply Chain & Transport event delivered by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (UK).
Held at CEVA Logistics in the East Midlands and aligned with International Women’s Day, the event welcomed a cross-section of professionals from logistics, transport and supply chain organisations nationwide.
Under the theme Pathways & Progress, the programme explored career development, inclusive leadership, organisational best practice and the steps required to accelerate gender equity.
The day opened with a welcome from the CILT’s CEO Helen Hardy, who reinforced the institute’s commitment to creating inclusive career pathways and supporting long-term change.
Discussions included inclusive recruitment practices, strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome, change-proof leadership in a reactive world and case studies from organisations leading measurable gender diversity initiatives.
Hardy said: “The strength of attendance and the calibre of discussion demonstrate that our profession is ready to lead with intent.
“By sharing lived experience, championing inclusive leadership and committing to practical change, we are building a stronger, more resilient future for supply chain and transport.”
