Speaker: Cllr Geoff Hill, Deputy Leader Local Independents and Cabinet member for Highways and Transport, Customer Service Centre and Employment The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead



The Thames Valley great is delighted to welcome Councillor Geoff Hill who is Deputy Leader Local Independents and Cabinet member for Highways and Transport, Customer Service Centre and Employment.



Councillor Hill will provide an update & a presentation on the new Maidenhead cycle routes now the public consultants are fully completed with settled designs.

Cyclists in Maidenhead now have a dedicated new 1.3km cycle route, making healthy active travel across the town safer and more convenient, thanks to the completion of the £2.8m Missing Links route. 

The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead has constructed the new route in phases, with the final part focused on upgraded paths, a new bridge, landscaping, and signs at Town Moor. The whole route connects current and future residential areas in the north with the town centre and railway station to the south. Pedestrians can also use it.



The overall scheme, mostly funded by government’s Local Growth Fund through the Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), includes improvements at a number of key locations to help people transition to cycling or walking for shorter journeys, supporting the council’s work to tackle climate change. 

The council would like the route to be adopted into the National Cycle Network in due course.

We live and work in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world and as such, pressures on business models are seeing rapid change, with innovations dismantling traditional operations before our very eyes. Along with a challenging labour market, the employer value proposition is looking very different than it did prior to the pandemic.

This industry sector and education round table event, looks at generating the views of supply chain organisations on what skills and knowledge they require from today’s graduates, for the logistician of tomorrow. With an understanding of what industry is looking for in their workforce of tomorrow, education can shape the curriculum, providing graduates with the right knowledge and skills sets that organisations can immediately capitalise upon.

The age of business transformation is now upon us, as the world of the 21st century adapts to the latest wave of technology and innovation, we are only just beginning to understand the disruptive nature of this new technology for example, AI and the Metaverse. Through collaboration and partnerships with industry, education can better understand what the ‘real impact’ of technology  in the workplace, and what industry needs to shape the workforce of the future.

Come and join the Supply Chain team here at Anglia Ruskin University, to share your views and thoughts of how your business, and the sector will evolve as we continue through the 21st century.

Join us for our 2nd annual Net Zero and Resilience Summit, where four leading organisations are once again uniting forces to drive progress in the vital areas of Net Zero and Climate Resilience.

Proudly brought to you by the East of England Local Government Association, England’s Economic Heartland, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and Transport East, this summit promises to be an enlightening and action-oriented event.

Together, we are dedicated to tackling the pressing challenges of climate change head-on, and through collaboration and innovation, we aim to pave the way for a sustainable future. By bringing together key stakeholders from various sectors, including government, industry, and academia, we will explore cutting-edge solutions, share best practices, and chart a course towards a resilient and carbon-neutral future.

The East of England has a unique set of environmental opportunities and challenges. Our region produces half of the UK’s offshore wind energy and has plans to do much more. However, the East of England is the most susceptible region in the country to the impacts of climate change including coastal erosion and drought. Furthermore, car ownership levels are extremely high due, largely, to our region’s rurality. This has a massive impact on carbon emissions.

At the 2024 East of England Net Zero and Climate Resilience Summit, partners from the public and private sector, will come together to explore the following themes:

• Decarbonising rural connectivity
• Green economy and skills
• Behaviour change
• Building climate resilience
• Net zero freight and logistics
• Farming and land use
• The role of hydrogen
• Finance and equality

The full day event will be an opportunity to hear from influential speakers and attend workshop sessions.

Speakers

 
The following speakers are confirmed, with more to be announced soon and an agenda to follow shortly:

• Kerry McCarthy MP, Shadow Minister for Climate Change
• Julie Marson MP, MP for Hertford and Stortford
• Cllr Peter Schwier, Chair of the Regional Climate Change Forum and Climate Czar, Essex County Council
• Professor Roderick Watkins, Vice Chancellor of Anglia Ruskin University
• Professor Yvonne Barnett, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research and Innovation), Anglia Ruskin University
• Vikram Singla FCILT, Chair of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and Digital Transformation Director and Sustainability Ambassador at Oracle
• Greg Pearson, Partnership Manager, Norfolk Climate Change Partnership

Audience:

 
Ministers and MPs, Councillors and council officers, academia, private sector and third sector industry partners in the East of England.

Please register your details below to confirm your attendance at this year’s East of England Net Zero and Climate Resilience Summit on the 18 July 2024. Places are on a first come, first serve basis. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation shaping our collective response to the climate crisis. Join us as we work towards a world where Net Zero is not just a goal, but a reality. Together, we can make a difference.

Speaker: Clare Bottle, chief executive , the UK Warehousing Association

Clare Bottle is CEO since 2021 of the UK Warehousing Association and Vice-Chair of Women in Logistics UK, which she co-founded 15 years ago with Ruth Wareing during a career that has taken her through the chemicals, construction and food & drink sectors.  Her strategic leadership experience stems from varied board-level involvement at CILT, Transaid and chairing a school board. At UKWA, which she joined from Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, she has pursued an agenda of economic, social and environmental sustainability, as well as driving diversity and inclusion. At the 2023 CILT Awards for Excellence, Clare won the prestigious Sir Robert Lawrence Award, which recognises the lifetime achievement of an individual, for their outstanding and sustained contribution to the profession of logistics and transport. The Year of Warehousing is a high pro-file, year-long campaign to highlight the critical role of warehousing in supply chains, the sector’s major contribution to the UK economy, the essential employment of 1m people, and the key role it is set to play in embracing solar power to achieve UK’s net zero goals. It coincides with the 80th anniversary of the Association’s inception in 1944, and includes an ambitious programme of 80 site visits across the UK by Clare, whose aim is to showcase the high tech, fast-moving working environ-ments inside UK’s warehouses.
