Shane speaks to colleague and 'new kid on the block' Clare Bottle, who has taken on the leadership of the UK Warehousing Association. Clare, who is an experienced logistics practitioner, gives her perspective on the important role that 'communities' (like UKWA and CCF) play in helping logistics professionals to gain insight, support and practical advice outside of their day job. She also reflects on stepping for the first time into the world of lobbying and communicates her passion for standing up for warehousing with government and wider politics and the media.
