Friday, 12 August 2016
The event, which has been arranged by Logistics Hub UK (LHUK), will take place at Doncaster Racecourse and will have three keynote speakers and will give businesses the opportunity to talk build on the vision and benefits of working beyond the region in the UK in a bid to strengthen and build the Sheffield City Region’s Logistics Hub as a gateway to the world.
The keynote speakers at this Logistics in Construction event will be Dave Woodhouse from Henry Boot, Jamie Dunbar from Cementation SKANSKA and Neil Coote/Peter Grose from Lindum Group Ltd.
Steve Swann, who is leading on the LHUK project, said: “We are really looking forward to welcoming construction and logistics businesses from across the region for this free breakfast event.
“At our first meeting Rob Bell, CEO and co-founder of Archomai, told the group that logistics in the Sheffield City Region are one of the most exciting prospects in the country. He went on to stress that the logistics effort is THE story for the Sheffield City Region because that is where we link into supply chains globally.
“Businesses left with the clear message that we need to start seeing the North as an interconnected gateway and focus on trade corridors and our multi model offer. Together we can grow of our logistics hub and we want to get businesses talking.
“We have already heard of some positive connections made at the last event and look forward to bringing like-minded businesses together to showcase the fantastic work that is already taking place in logistics in this region.”
The LHUK group is a membership group established to represent powerful partnership marketing for Sheffield City Region’s logistic sector. It is a partnership of private sector companies committed to the on-going growth, development and promotion of the logistics and distribution sector in the Sheffield City Region initially, with a view to developing improved activity with other city regions i.e. Leeds, Manchester, Hull.
