MORE than 50 Warrington-based organisations attended the launch of a new organisation aiming to share best practice and stay ahead of the competition on supply chain operations.
The new Supply Chain Forum’s first meeting was at the Warrington campus of Chester University.
The Forum is a collaboration between the university’s Warrington School of Management, Warrington Collegiate, the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply, the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and the Birchwood Forum.
Aim of the group is to share best practice on supply chain operations and allow local businesses to network and discuss commercial opportunities. The first event discussed streamlining supply chains and included presentations by Aidan Manley, executive director of the Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership and Nick Smart, UK supply chain director for the Brakes Group.
Professor Lawrence Bellamy, of the Warrington School of Management, said: “Supply chains are at the heart of the economic success of the Cheshire and Warrington region and if the region is to continue to prosper it needs to stay ahead of the competition.
“I am delighted that our first forum was such a success; we will continue to build on this by providing a regular platform for businesses involved in supply chain management to share knowledge and best practice.”
Forthcoming forums will include discussion around topics such as legislation, technology, strategy and resource management.
