Logistics & Supply Chain Events

Where: Nautilus House, Shoreham Port, Nautilus House, 90-100 Albion Street, Southwick, Brighton, BN42 4ED 
Speaker: Tom Rawlins, General Manager, Operations, Shoreham Port

In 1760, the Commissioners of Shoreham Harbour met for the first time in an endeavour to make a new cut to the sea to beat the problem of shingle accumulation. This marked the official founding of the Port and in 2010 the Port celebrated its 250th Anniversary, although it existed as an entry to England since Roman times.

Today, Shoreham is a thriving commercial port on the South Coast of England, with a mission is to provide a first-class service to its customers and to continue to develop the excellent infrastructure and facilities to meet customers’ requirements, in a commercially economic and efficient way. Tom Rawlings will give us the background to Shoreham Port and we will then go on a boat trip (sponsored by MCL Transport Consultants Ltd) around the East Arm where the businesses lining the banks of the East Canal will be pointed out.

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.

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.

Competencies:

• SC1.1 Supply Chain Networks, Design and Optimisation
• LE1.1 Leadership, Organisational Culture and Change Management
• DT2.1 Technology, Automation and Innovation

When: 18 October 2024, 10:00 - 15:00
Where: Diamond House, Main gate. Harwell Science & Innovation Campus, Fermi Ave, Didcot, OX11 0DE, UK 
Speaker: Mick Conmy FCILT, Diamond-II Logistics Manager

Attendance will be limited to a maximum of 36 and attendees will be vetted by Diamond Light Source prior to confirmation.

The UK’s largest particle accelerator is undergoing a upgrade programme starting next year and running through to 2029, it is the largest ever investment in UK science. It will involve construction of a new, even brighter synchrotron machine, which is essentially a giant microscope, producing light 10 billion times brighter than the sun.  The light is directed, via beamlines, into laboratories where research takes place in virtually all fields of science from health to energy.

To underpin this a logistics plan is currently being designed that creates a network of local and remote storage, kitting and assembly operations from scratch. 

A project team will handle the receipt, assembly and despatch of 17,000 SKUs of largely bespoke scientific instrumentation. Much of this is both very heavy and extremely sensitive. At the same time there will be a complex and overlapping extraction and removal process. Metal recycling will also form a big part of this project.   





Diamond Light Source, along with CILT Defence Forum and Central Southern Region will run a workshop to scope the art of the possible and look for innovative movement and temporary storage solutions for this project. Defence heavy-lift and expeditionary storage experts are already engaged in this, but wider industry experts are sought to workshop ideas about the most appropriate strategy to apply to this unique endeavour. 

After an initial briefing, there will be a descriptive tour of the facility giving unprecedented access to the current particle accelerator.  The workshop will then discuss concepts and exchange ideas about how to approach the programme.  The workshop will be held in the Diamond Light Source boardroom.
