Freight industry gather for networking and learning at the end of April in Manchester

Supported by Business Connect Magazine who will be at the event, Forwarder events will connect leaders in the freight industry for a day packed with networking and learning opportunities on 27 April 2023.

Held at the Castlefield Rooms in the heart of historic industrial Manchester, the gathering will start with networking activities and one-to-one meetings.

A keynote speech from DHL Supply Chain UK & Ireland CEO Saul Resnick will examine ‘How technology is changing the way we trade’.

Saul has a long history with DHL, including leading over 4,000 colleagues through the pandemic during his time as CEO of DHL Supply Chain Australia and New Zealand.

Providing insights into this topic will be Atlantic Pacific Global Logistics director Christine Nichols; Wincanton people director Jo Pick; Toll Group vice president Alison Lindfield; Lesley Batchelor CBE, co-founder of Export Angels; DG International head of airfreight Laura Odell; and finally, Nicole Shaw, business development international at Streamline Shipping Group.

After the day’s networking and discussions, delegates will be free to join an after party hosted by Freight North at the vibrant Barca Bar, located a short walk from the Castlefield Rooms. Freight North is itself expecting over 200 attendees.

Paul Daine, Managing Director of Premium Collections commented: “We have always put customer service at the forefront of everything we do and to help achieve this we ensure that our staff, suppliers, partners and field agents with whom we work to recover client debts also exhibit this ethos.

“With that in mind we are pleased to comment on the fantastic support we have received from the Debitura team.

“For the last 20 years ago we have strived to change the perception of debt collection, and this ethos is shared by the founders at Debitura.

“We’re excited to build on this together and make a positive difference to international debt collection, with a view to providing a unique service that is convenient, efficient and low-cost.”

A dynamic panel discussion on ‘Women thriving in freight: Achieving balance and success’ will follow.
