Speaker: Alia Gharaibeh, Regional Director Middle East, HELP Logistics

Thames Valley Group are privileged to have secured Alia Garaibeh, Regional Director for the Middle East how the HELP Logistics team, part of the Swiss Based Kuhne Foundation, is contributing  to the thought leadership that is shaping future humanitarian supply chains.



Humanitarian actors today face a multitude of operational and environmental risks that can result in supply chain disruptions. Building resilient supply chains is key to ensuring the availability of life-saving commodities and begins with understanding the operating environment and the contextual factors that make them susceptible to disruptions. 

In this talk, Alia Gharaibeh introduces the tools and methodologies developed by HELP Logistics for the benefit of the humanitarian community. Including the Supply Chain Resilience (SCR) tool, an approach to simulate potential disruptions to humanitarian supply chains that can empower organizations to enhance supply chain resilience proactively. 

These insights inform the creation of data-driven supply strategies that offer a roadmap for organizations to mitigate risks, reduce disruptions, and ensure aid reaches vulnerable populations, even in the most challenging environments.



HELP Logistics is a subsidiary company of the Kühne Foundation. Since 2016, HELP Logistics has established four regional offices; Singapore (Asia), Amman (Middle East), Nairobi (East Africa) and Dakar (West Africa). From these centres, dedicated supply chain and logistics experts partner with a range of government, academic and professional institutions.

Alia Gharaibeh is a seasoned professional with a master’s degree in industrial engineering and over 15 years of managerial experience in leading regional and international organisations in the Middle East. She is the first SCM ITC-certified Supply Chain Manager in Jordan, a prestigious certification granted by the International Trade Centre and the United Nations.

With her extensive background in shipping and retail, Ms Gharaibeh founded her own business consultancy company, providing valuable advice and training to Jordanian SMEs. She has also played a pivotal role in implementing national capacity-building projects for USAID. As a lecturer at the German Jordanian University (GJU), she mentored aspiring logistics professionals and imparted knowledge on supply chain, logistics, and operations management.


Ms Gharaibeh's exemplary leadership skills have been recognised through invitations to prestigious fellowships, including the Arab American Business, John Smith Rule of Law (UK), Common Purpose (UK), and Vital Voices (US). Over the past eight years, she has actively contributed to the humanitarian sector through technical assistance and capacity building initiatives. As the Middle East Regional Director of HELP Logistics, she continues to advance supply chain management in the region significantly.

Speaker:  

• Craig Hampton-Stone MA FRSA FCILT, Managing Director, Cardiff City Transport Services Ltd (Cardiff Bus)

Logistics and Leadership – the endurance of simplicity.  I’m very grateful for the opportunity to reflect and discuss what logistics means to me and the part it has played throughout my career.  Having joined the Army and commissioned into the Royal Logistic Corps in 1996, I have developed a core algorithm based on the 4 ‘Ds’ of demand, distance, destination and duration; some of that has endured, some has not.  But having left the Army, transitioned through a few years in construction and consultancy, and now arrived in the most fantastic of appointments as MD of Cardiff Bus, there is indeed much to discuss around external influence, the dynamics of public transport and of course, leadership.

Speaker: Anthony Smith, Director of Consumer Focus

When Anthony Smith announced his decision to step down from the helm at Transport Focus from the end of 2023, the chair Nigel Stevens said: “Anthony has dedicated almost 25 years to representing transport users. Transport Focus has become a trusted voice on their behalf, advocating in their interest and holding transport operators to account. The Board and colleagues are grateful for the commitment, leadership and passion Anthony has provided through a period of great change. He will leave Transport Focus in a strong position to face the challenges ahead.”

Joint event with Environment & Sustainability Forum

About 22% of the UK’s population live in food poverty. Such persons often rely on alternative supply chains for their total or supplementary food supply. Planning and diet choices are therefore limited for such persons, making improvement in their long-term food security near impossible. Over the last three years, researchers in Cranfield University, along with colleagues in the Universities of Reading, Plymouth, Sussex and Kent have sought to provide citizens of culturally-diverse disadvantaged communities with choice and agency over the food they consume, by co-developing new products, new supply chains and new policy frameworks that deliver an affordable, attractive, healthy and sustainable diets.

During this time, insights from farmers, large retailers, third-party logistics companies in the food sector, food processors and manufacturers, wholesalers and food redistributors reveal that a logistics intervention in current food redistribution operations can lead to improved sustainability outcomes both for businesses and society. This event is a first step towards engaging industry partners to present the integrated and synthesised insights regarding current challenges and opportunities in addressing food waste and food insecurity in a way that is mutually beneficial and attractive for all relevant stakeholders.

Competency sets:

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

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.

• 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.
