Join Women in Logistics at Loadhog – Lifting the Lid on Supply Chain Efficiency

In partnership with Loadhog, Women in Logistics (WiL) invites you to a high-impact day focused on driving efficiency, reducing labour costs, and investing in sustainable, results-driven solutions.

This inclusive event brings together professionals from across the logistics sector for a day of insight and inspiration, featuring expert speakers, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and a behind-the-scenes tour of Loadhog’s award-winning, sustainability-led factory.

Expect dynamic conversation, great food, meaningful networking – and a little fun on the iconic Loadhog slide.

A huge thank you to Loadhog for hosting.

This event is free to attend and open to all.

Networking doesn’t have to be daunting or stuffy – join Women in Logistics for a relaxed 7-mile walk around the stunning Ladybower Reservoir.

We’ll meet at 9:30am at the Ladybower Inn car park. The route is mostly flat, with an optional short uphill to the Derwent Dam viewing point. There’s a café and seating nearby for anyone who prefers not to climb.

After the walk, we’ll head to the pub for lunch (at your own expense). Parking at the pub costs £3 per hour unless you’re using their facilities. Free parking is available at Cutthroat Bridge layby, about a mile away, and we’ll be in touch to coordinate car-sharing closer to the time.

Please wear suitable footwear and clothing for the weather. The pace will be comfortable for all.

This is a free event—just bring comfortable shoes and come as you are.
