The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) is delighted to see that membership has grown, this time by 876 over the previous year. Closing at 17,905 – some 5% ahead of the same time last year – we have also passed a milestone for monthly member recruitment and now average 300 plus per month.
The new Apprentice grade of affiliate membership is also gaining ground just as the senior membership grades of Chartered Member and Chartered Fellow remain attractive to individuals upgrading as their careers develop, as well as to new entrants.
Positive signs have also been evident as we see increasing interest from individuals and businesses in our broad range of products and services. Education and training are showing marked uplifts as the profession’s shortages of skills and capability starts to hit home. The Institute registered over 5,100 new learners in 2014/15 and issued over 4,000 certificates across the broad range of courses and qualifications we accredit, deliver or endorse.
The coming year is one of significant change for CILT with a newly elected Chairman and Chief Executive being announced.
Kevin Richardson FCILT has been appointed as the new Chief Executive. Kevin joined the Institute on 1st December for a brief period of handover and will take over from outgoing Chief Executive Steve Agg, who is stepping down after nearly ten years in the role.
Kevin joins the Institute from XPO Logistics, formerly Norbert Dentressangle, where he held the role of European Development Director for four years. An experienced senior logistics executive with over 35 years’ experience in the sector, Kevin has extensive knowledge in operational and project management across Europe and has been a member of the Institute for 28 years.
Professor Richard Wilding OBE FCILT has been appointed as the Chairman of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK (CILT). Richard has been a member of the Institute since 1992 and a Board member since 2011. He is also Chair (Full Professor) in Supply Chain Strategy at the Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Cranfield School of Management UK.
2015 also saw a ground-breaking collaboration between four leading logistics and transport organisations representing the UK logistics and transport sectors. CILT, along with the Road Haulage Association, Freight Transport Association and the Institute of Road Engineers pledged to work together to improve the public image and perception of the industry, attract younger recruits to the sector and to raise the general profile of the industry.
