GREENWICH, Conn., Sept. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading global provider of transportation and logistics solutions, will be joined by customers Nestlé UK Ltd., Shiseido Company and Ted Baker Plc for a panel discussion on “Relationship-Building in Logistics” at the Women in Logistics UK Virtual Diversity Roadshow on September 23, 2020.

The CILT presents the Women in Logistics UK forum annually to provide professional development opportunities for women in logistics careers.

Sarah Booth, XPO’s account director, supply chain – UK and Ireland, will be hosting the panel discussion. She noted, “Respect is essential to any mutually beneficial business relationship. Trust is also key, particularly in logistics, where companies rely on 3PLs for mission-critical operations. We’re looking forward to a lively discussion about the ‘human aspects’ of supply chain relationships.”
Alice Spink, Nestlé‘s warehouse contract manager, said, “Collaboration must be at the heart of any successful partnership. The strength of a relationship can and will be put to the test, but the trust and collaboration between the 3PL and customer will get you through the challenges.”
