| Topic & Speaker: | "Co-design for Purposive Road Freight Decarbonisation" with Phil Churchman Phil Churchman is a mature PhD student with the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds. His previous roles include supply chain and strategy consultant with consultancies Bain, Accenture and Coopers & Lybrand, Strategy Director with Aviva (insurance, not buses!) and Chief Information Officer with Crawford, a global claims management company. Phil has taught Business Strategy and Information Systems to MBA students at the University of East Anglia. His current research focuses on how political, social and techno-economic factors interact to either enable or hinder sustainability transitions, with a particular focus on road freight decarbonisation. Phil will present his research based on 32 interviews with road freight participants, policymakers and experts considering the case of food deliveries to supermarkets and supermarket distribution centres. He will draw insights on preferred solutions, key decisions that need to be made collaboratively, requirements for collaborative decision making and transition challenges. The next phase of his research will identify decision pathways for rapid and radical road freight decarbonisation. In this webinar he will be enlisting participants' help in designing this next phase. |

| Topic & Speaker: | "Crossrail International" by Keith Wallace, chair of Crossrail International Crossrail International (CI) is a specialist advisory practice, wholly owned by the UK government's Department for Transport (DfT), that provides strategic advice globally to client organisations developing and delivering complex rail schemes. Keith Wallace brings to his role as its chair over forty years of railway experience as a consultant, including at Scott Wilson where he was instrumental in delivering the Borders Railway, and in operating roles which included heading up Caledonian Sleeper. Now he is exporting to other countries the expertise amassed in building London's Elizabeth Line, biggest urban railway construction project in Europe, which by connecting Reading and Heathrow via Paddington and Liverpool Street with Abbey Wood and Shenfield is greatly easing cross-London journeys and thus facilitating the UK's post-CoVid economic recovery. Clients include metros in Tel Aviv and Indonesia, Californian high-speed rail and project management offices in Lima, showing that knowledge can successfully cross frontiers and fly the flag for Britain's place in the world of mass-transit achievement. |

| Topic & Speaker: | Visit to Aggreko hosted by Kimberley Campbell CMILT, Head of Manufacturing at Aggreko Aggreko are sector specialists, offering generators for hire and recommending the right choice of energy and specialty rental solutions to improve productivity. Anywhere in the world, from rapid-response emergency support to multi-decade investments, they offer customers access to the latest, cleanest, and most efficient technologies. This removes the need for customers to invest in and manage these assets directly, thus allowing them to focus more on their own customers, their communities and creating a sustainable future. Last year Aggreko announced an upgrade of their production facility in Dumbarton, with an investment totalling £4.5million. The site will turn into a future energy hub, replacing all diesel with low-emission HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) as well as exporting surplus power generated during production tests of Next Generation Gas gensets back to the national grid. Smart battery storage systems and LED lighting systems will also be used to make the use of energy at the facility more efficient. The scheme includes the acquisition of land at Lomondgate Park next to the existing site, which is owned by Strathleven Regeneration CIC (SRCIC). Construction started in November 2020 and represents an investment of £4M with local firms, bringing over 300 employees together in a campus environment which will add a state-of-the-art rental depot to the existing manufacturing site. The investment and plans form part of the Aggreko's commitment to achieve Net Zero emissions from its own operations by 2030. |
