CILT UK aims to ‘Professionalise the Profession’

A strategy for ‘Professionalising the Profession’ has been published by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT UK).

This will recognise and celebrate the quality, expertise and value of the transport, logistics, and supply chain profession, says the institute.

CILT UK says the strategy is part of its transformational plan, which seeks to “drive educational excellence, best practices and continuing professional development to upskill the current and next generation of supply chain, transport and logistics professionals”.

Vikram Singla, CILT UK Chair, said: “Our strategic direction over the coming years will strengthen and grow the Institute, enabling CILT(UK) to deliver on its core charitable objectives.

“Together we strive for the continuing advancement of logistics, transport and supply chain operations; ensuring the sector can meet future challenges and opportunities and for the benefit of society in general."

Paul Adams, CILT UK CEO said: “Our new strategic direction aims to provide concrete value to our members’ careers and the wider logistics, transport and supply chain profession. Ongoing professional development and shared standards of competency must be at the front and centre of all our efforts.”
