A REMINDER the Discussions for Increasing the Talent Pool in Transport & Logistics is on in about a weeks time. The industry is poised to increase and the Hunter will NOT be delivering if we do not address the current crisis in recruitment and retention of personnel within the industry.

Of particular concern is the lack of retention of women within the industry and the continuing decline of interest to address how we can encourage and improve the industry within our region.

Please join the members of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport Hunter Section and Women’s Network (Hunter NSW) for an engaging and thought provoking luncheon.

The main theme to be explored is how can we increase the talent pool for the Logistics and Transport industries by “degenderizing” the workforce. It is predicted there will be a 26% increase in the demand for logistics and transport professionals over the next 5 years. There is no way this increase can be met while the logistics and transport industry continues to be seen as a male dominated industry.

A panel of industry professionals will provide unique insights into how the Logistics and Transport industries can tackle this serious problem and identify the impediments to change

PANEL:
Jenny Aitchison MP – Member for Maitland, Shadow Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, Shadow Minister for Small Business with a long involvement in Logistics and Transport through the bus and coach industry

Tony McGrath – Owner of McGrath Newcastle with an extensive history in all aspects of Logistics and Transport

Ashanti Kruger – Managing Director of Hunter Cargo and Customs involved with import/export Logistics and Transport

David Franze – Director at Intent Recruitment with extensive involvement with HR and recruitment in Logistics and Transport
