Young professionals welcome!
When: 29 March 2010, 18:00 (for 19:00)
Where: Central London
Speaker: Terry Murphy, Head of NDCs, John Lewis Partnership
Terry will be talking to the group on Responding to Change in the Retail Model. His presentation will include some background about how JLP's retail business has changed and what the supply chain team have done to cope with that change.
The Supply Chain Network has been running for over five years. It was set up as a networking and learning opportunity for younger people working within the supply chain in retailers, manufacturers and logistics providers - we use the word 'young' loosely, ages ranging from 20s-50s - a beating pulse is the important factor!
The group numbers about 50 people, with 20 typically at any one meeting. We meet about every six weeks or so in a pub in central London. Networking normally starts from 6pm onwards with snacks at 6.30pm and the 'formal' presentation from 7pm, with more networking afterwards. We aim to have a mix of 'experts' and presentations from within the group. The environment is very informal. The objective is discussion rather than a formal presenter at the front, with presenters encouraged to bring issues as well as experience.
We sometimes have spare spaces, so if you're interested in joining us, please contact Kirsten Tisdale - put Supply Chain Network in the comments box.
