7th March 2026
Women in Logistics Netwalk
Hylands Park, Chelmsford
This Netwalk took place on 7th March at the beautiful Hylands Park in Chelmsford. Attendees enjoyed a gentle 5km walk through the historic Grade II listed park, following scenic paths and open green spaces.
The relaxed setting provided the perfect opportunity for professionals from across the logistics industry to connect, catch up, and build new relationships while enjoying the fresh air and surroundings.
Designed to be inclusive and informal, the walk facilitated a welcoming environment for conversation, networking, and sharing experiences within the Women in Logistics community.
26-28th February 2026
Women in Logistics Professional Development Retreat
Ramshorn Estate, Staffordshire
A two-night luxury countryside retreat that brought together women in the logistics industry for a unique experience focused on personal growth, leadership insight and meaningful connection.
As one attendee, Lisa Christie, reflected: “When we were asked what we wanted to gain from the retreat, the answers were unanimous: a space to reset, connect and learn. Our aim was to honour the true meaning of the word ‘retreat’ - to step away from the pace of everyday life and create our own space for reflection and growth.”
And that is exactly what attendees did. Set in beautiful countryside surroundings, they were able to recharge at their own pace whilst enjoying great company, excellent food and plentiful moments of relaxation - from hot tubs to evening cocktails - before immersing themselves in a thoughtfully-curated programme of sessions.
Through interactive workshops with inspiring speakers, peer mastermind sessions and leadership clinics, participants gained practical tools to build confidence, strengthen their governance capabilities and elevate their personal brands. Open and honest conversations allowed attendees to share real business challenges and leadership experiences, drawing on the collective insight and support of the group.
Lisa continues: “We went to bed each night with our minds fizzing with new ideas, and the experience didn’t end when the retreat did. Since returning, we’ve continued to connect and share, building on the ideas we explored and putting them into action in our work across the logistics sector. I feel refreshed and brimming with motivation! It’s a special thing to begin a retreat as strangers and leave feeling like you’ve known each other for years.”
The retreat proved to be far more than a brief escape from the day-to-day - it created lasting connections, fresh perspectives on the logistics industry, and renewed confidence. Thank you to everyone who attended, to Ruth and Clare for cultivating such a fantastic environment for growth, and to Sue for empowering attendees to look both inwards and outwards.

Women in Logistics Netwalk
Cotton & Oakamoor, Staffordshire
Led by Clare Bottle and Ruth Waring, Women in Logistics supporters enjoyed a refreshing 8km netwalk through the beautiful Staffordshire countryside around Cotton and Oakamoor, taking in woodland trails, quiet country lanes and gently undulating scenery. The route offered plenty of opportunities to chat whilst enjoying the fresh air and picturesque surroundings.
Despite the trails being thick with mud after recent wet weather, WiL members were undeterred, tackling a few serious bog-hopping moments with good humour and enthusiasm! The relaxed setting - far removed from the distractions and time pressures of formal networking events - created the perfect environment for conversation, allowing members to build genuine connections.
Afterwards, the group returned to The Star Pub for a well-earned lunch by a warm fire, rounding off a memorable morning of putting the logistics world to rights!

7th February 2026
Women in Logistics Netwalk
Central London
Despite the rain, Women in Logistics UK hosted a refreshing London Netwalk in early February, bringing members and guests together for an informal morning of networking and conversation in the heart of the capital.
Starting in Piccadilly, the group covered a gentle route of around three miles, taking in the historic arcades, Mayfair garden squares and some of London’s lesser-known corners along the way. Led by WiL founder member Jane Green, the walk offered a relaxed pace and plenty of opportunity to connect with others from across the logistics and supply chain community.
The rain certainly didn’t dampen spirits, with great conversations, fresh air and a strong sense of community making it a thoroughly enjoyable event.

17th January 2026
Women in Logistics Netwalk
Leamington Spa
On Friday 17 January, Women in Logistics UK hosted a scenic 6.5-mile (10 km) netwalking event in Leamington Spa, bringing members and guests together for an informal morning of networking, fresh air and great conversation.
The walk started at Leamington Spa Station and followed the Grand Union Canal and Offchurch Greenway to The Stag at Offchurch, where the group stopped for lunch. The return route took in Newbold Comyn Park, finishing with tea and cake hosted by Ruth and Grahame. Lifts back to the station were kindly provided.
With winter sunshine, good company and a relaxed pace, the Leamington netwalk was a lovely example of how WiL events combine wellbeing, connection and professional networking in an inclusive, welcoming setting.
