LEARNING & CONNECTING AT ITS BEST

Jamie Shaw, Sustainability Director, Karndean Design Flooring

It was fantastic to be a part of SLL2025 London. Logistics play such an important part of a more circular and sustainable economy that we need events like this to bring different parts of the logistics supply chain together. Looking forward to continuing the conversations that have started on the back of this year’s event and excited to see what we can achieve.

Even in just six months after the event, I’ve seen shared knowledge and interest in sustainability accelerate notably

Karl Montgomery, Recruitment Consultant Recruit Mint

What stood out to me most was that the conversation wasn’t just about the need to change the industry, it was about the deep desire and collective will to make that change happen. SLL is exactly the kind of event, community, and platform that can drive meaningful transformation. It felt less like a conference and more like a movement, people working together, not in competition, to build the solutions our industry needs.
