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.Booking for Members-Non-Members FREETo book scroll to the bottom of this page, tick the T & C's box and click Book on event, if you have any difficulties email us at regions@ciltuk.org.uk quoting event code: SR0546 with your Full name, title and company and we will book your place for you.Note: If you are not a current Member of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, please be aware our membership team may be in touch with you using your email address provided regards membership opportunities.

When: 18 October 2024, 10:00 - 15:00Where: 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.
