Truck and Track Summer 2023 www.truckandtrack.com 22 CILT(UK) LEARNING CENTRE The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK – CILT(UK) – has welcomed a record nine new Corporate Members to the Institute in March 2023 – its highest monthly figure in four years. The nine organisations include: Logico, EV Cargo, Ramco UK, PTV Logistics, JJX Logistics, CI&T, Kuehne & Nagel, BAE Systems Air, and the Department for Transport. CILT first launched its Corporate Membership offering in 2008 to provide organisations in the logistics and transport profession with a competitive edge in industry knowledge and networking opportunities, alongside other like-minded organisations. Over the past fifteen years, CILT has supported its Corporate Members through providing members with the knowledge, networks, and know-how to enable organisations to succeed in an interconnected world, across a range of areas such as improving talent development, fostering innovation, building connections, raising awareness, and increasing sales. CILT Corporate Members are invited to an exclusive conference once a year to celebrate their membership and network with likeminded industry peers. This year’s event will take place on Thursday 18 May in Whittlebury Hall in Towcester. Alongside a theme centred on ‘Membership in Action’ which has been designed in response to last year’s poll of Corporate Members, who informed us that collaboration within the Corporate Member Community was top of their wish list. The day will provide opportunities for shared learnings, networking and, of course, extensive collaboration. Commenting on the milestone, Sharon Kindleysides, Chief Executive at CILT(UK), said: “We are delighted to welcome nine new organisations into the CILT Corporate Member Community in just one month. Our Corporate Membership offering provides our members with access to services that enhance their knowledge, network, and access to a range of benefits. The nine new Corporate Members are a rich mix of new, and returning, organisations, and predominantly represent logistics providers and service providers. To reflect the diversity of our Corporate Members, the nine also included a leading manufacturer, a public authority and a training provider.” Commenting on joining CILT’s Corporate Membership package, Rebecca Crook, Chief Growth Officer, CI&T, said: “CI&T is delighted to become members of CILT which we recognise brings together the leaders from the logistics, transport and supply chain industries. With digital technology playing an increasingly important part in this sector we look forward to contributing to the conversation by bringing our 27-year experience in delivering ground breaking digital programmes for some of the world’s bestknown companies.” For more information, visit: CILT - Corporate (ciltuk.org.uk) Contact the Corporate Member team on 01536 740118 or email corporate@ciltuk.org.uk Record number of Corporate Members join CILT in one month CILT (UK) is pleased to announce the entire programme for its annual conference, titled ‘Future Capabilities,’ as well as this year’s Next Generation Conference Chair.
