Keynotes followed on next generation workforce, e-retail digitisation and a finish on alternative fuel vehicles for clean air at Heathrow.
Logistics Skills Alliance chairman, Carl Lomas looks at the headlines,
Lomas, ‘Infrastructure remains key, fleet charge at a hub or individual driver charge at home ?’
Nigel Banes SMMT, ‘ A patchwork quilt of London geographics, street-by-street compliance is not the way.’
Simon Scarfe TfL, ‘Working with 33 London Boroughs is a big job. Compare it to 33 small cities’

1908 – 2018 / 110 years - Mother's Day - Sunday March 11th
Americans talk of Mother's Day starting in 1914. Anna Jarvis resolved to honour the death of her mother in 1908. Her mother’s wish was that someone would one day pay tribute to all mothers. Anna is reported to have written hundreds of letters to officials before she gained the support of the Philadelphian merchant John Wanamaker. Mother's Day became an official U.S. holiday in 1914.
Here in the UK, Mother's Day marks the second logistics peak of the year. Valentines broke all records and today's numbers will likely do the same as final mile home delivery continues to explode. Based in the heart of flower final mile, like Valentine's, the breadth of deliveries has widened beyond all expectations.

KFC Chicken supply chain move from Bidvest to DHL
A difficult week in the supply chain but the Colonel is back on the road.
Logistics Skills Alliance chairman, Carl Lomas,
It's rare to see our sector make such national news. One positive side is showcasing just how complex supply chain logistics is to the UK audience. The term client chain never so important when the client takes full focus of the delivery. Well done DHL for holding steady, getting the paperwork sorted and getting the chicken back in the 900 shops.
