Malcolm Logistics to host Scottish UKWA event in September

The UK Warehousing Association is to hold a regional event in Scotland on 20 September at Malcolm Logistics Heritage Centre in Glasgow.

This is the latest in a series of events that UKWA has been rolling out across the UK in the run up to its UKWA National Conference in March 2023.

Chief executive Clare Bottle (pictured) said, “We would like to extend a warm welcome to members as well as non-members to attend our Scottish showcase, where they will have opportunity to meet others from the Scottish warehousing sector, hear from expert industry speakers and learn more about the role of UKWA in supporting warehouse operators.”
