Multimodal 2017 sessions Wednesday 5th April in the Logistics Theatre
Sessions introduced by by Jamael Kudratt, Account Manager, Meantime Communications
10.30-11.30 Brexit Briefing – John Keefe, Director of Public Affairs, Eurotunnel The topic of discussion is about the importance of the Channel Tunnel as a trade link for the UK economy which currently represents a quarter of all UK trade with the EU. A detailed report entitled “The Economic footprint of the Channel Tunnel fixed link” was recently published to assess the economic contribution of the Channel Tunnel to trade and tourism, and its role in the UK’s economic growth.
12.30-13.10 Brexit Briefing – Vikram K Singla, Supply Chain and Product Innovation Cloud Apps – UK/IE, Oracle, and Bruce Bentley, Presales Manager, KPIT Technologies Ltd Global change is moving at such a fast pace that many UK based logistics companies feel at some point that they will be overwhelmed by bureaucracy if they do not have an action plan to address staff concerns on new compliance issues and needs. Whether that is from the challenges of moving goods fast from the UK to the EU, or visa-versa, to whether you even have the trained logistical, financial or IT staff with the compliance skillsets to meet the ever-increasing challenges that you or your paying customers will ultimately face. In this joint Oracle/KPIT session, our experts will focus on global trade management processes and how they might play out between the UK and the EU. Speakers:
15.00-15.45 Brexit Briefing – Robert Keen, Director General, BIFA, and Peter MacSwiney, Chairman, Agency Sector Management As Brexit unfolds, there will be many issues affecting visible trade and the work of forwarders. Will Customs reintroduce EU transaction border controls? Will the replacement of CHIEF go ahead and will the new system be able to handle the millions of extra transactions? How will controls on dual use items be managed.
