Stena Line continues sponsorship of NI’s Premier Logistics dinner
Leading ferry company Stena Line has once again been the principal sponsor of this year’s Northern Ireland Logistics and Transport Annual Gala Dinner, hosted by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT).
The event took place at Titanic Belfast on Thurs 28th February and is widely regarded as the premier dinner for the transport and logistics profession in Northern Ireland. Over 300representativesfrom all sectors of the industry attended the event and this year’s guest speaker was Caspar Berry, a world leading authority on the topic of ‘uncertainty’, a subject under much scrutiny with the ongoing Brexit negotiations and the event was compared by local comedian Tim McGarry.
Anna Breen, Stena Line’s Freight Commercial Manager (Irish Sea North) said: “Stena Line is delighted to be the principal sponsor of such a prestigious event for the transport and logistics industry in Northern Ireland and we were delighted to see a number of new guests as well as many of our established local company representatives in attendance. This is our 5th year of support for the dinner as principal sponsor and I’m pleased to say that once again a sell-out event provided a unique opportunity for senior representatives of the industry to come together and exchanges views, opinions and experiences on what is a very dynamic and innovative industry. Despite the challenges which 2019 will undoubtedly pose for the industry it’s encouraging to see such a positive response to one of our main showcase industry events and it was particularly interesting to hear the views of Caspar on the topic of the moment – uncertainty!”
