08:00 – 10:00, 23rd October at GTG West Midlands, Bearing Drive, Wolverhampton, WV11 3SZ.

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is facilitating a for our lead employers operating in the region’s logistics, distribution, and transport sectors.

This session takes place as part of a one-day event dedicated to the learning, training and career opportunities within Logistics and Transport sector, to coincide with the Road Haulage Association’s National Lorry Week. The outcomes of the session will be used to inform the WMCA adult education offer in partnership with our colleges and skills providers.

To ensure that WMCA’s policy and delivery is informed by stakeholders closest to the everyday experiences of working within the sector, it’s vital that we hear from you directly so we can gather intelligence about the industry’s skills and people requirements. 

The key themes that will be worked through have been identified during our discussion with trade associations, representative groups, and industry leaders. The topics we will cover are;

• Immediate skills needs, 
• Inspiring the next generation, 
• The challenge of an ageing workforce,
• Digitisation and decarbonisation,
• New technologies and the implication on skills.

It’s important that the session is attended by a range of experts so that the feedback gathered represents the different scales and varying challenges being faced.

Attendees should expect to come for 2 hours and be led through outcome focussed discussion.

The event is by invite only and registration is required as numbers are restricted to ensure this is a productive session.

Please register here.

Join us on 31 October 2024 at 13:00 our speaker will be Paul Le Blond, Chair of MRG at CILT (UK)

The Membership Representatives Group (MRG) is made up of members from across the Institute and seeks to achieve this two-way interaction through the MRG Chair's position on the Board. But, is it working? Does the Board really take account of the memberships' views. Do members really understand, or want to know, what the Board is discussing? This Townhall meeting will hear from Paul Le Blond, MRG Chair and Board member, about the work of the MRG and the Board and will be your chance to ask questions, make suggestions and become involved.

Speaker: David Pemberton, Director of Railway Paths Limited  


David Pemberton runs Railway Paths Limited, established in 1998 in the wake of the privatisation of British Rail, with the grant of around 1000 hectares (or approximately 250 route miles) of ex-railway land. Within the DfT, the ex-railway estate not transferred to Network Rail is still sometimes referred to as the "burdensome estate". Yet over the last 25 years, Railway Paths has used it to create public benefit, and although a charity, manages the land as a commercial estate deriving income from rents, sales, ransom strips and servitudes.

The objective of Railway Paths is to lease its land for use as cycle paths. Its leaseholders (principally Sustrans and local authorities) pay £1 for the lease, but have the responsibility for constructing & maintaining the path, looking after the public, and managing the land. In return, Railway Paths manages circa 750 railway structures ranging from listed viaducts, bridges carrying national roads, and major tunnels, to tiny culverts. Of particular interest in Scotland, the talk will look at: North Water Viaduct (Montrose), Big Water of Fleet Viaduct (Galloway), development of landholdings in Paisley and Glasgow, and Loanhead to Millerhill (Edinburgh).
