In addition, the conference will be hosted by Jo Godsmark, chair of the CILT (Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport) Outsourcing and Procurement Forum, and director of BigChange. Godsmark is also a trustee of an international charity, Transaid, that seeks to provide safe, sustainable and affordable transport to communities in need across the world. The event will be in support of Transaid with FORS matching each member’s voluntary donation made at registration to a maximum of £10 per place booked.
The event will be accompanied by an exhibition featuring FORS Associates and Affinity Partners.
