Thank you Bill Nash MCIPS and Laura Francesca Brown for inviting me to speak about #ModernSlavery and #LabourExploitation at Ferrovial Construction supply chain conference yesterday. It's rare that #ModernSlavery gets to be centre stage at such a high profile event, so thank you for getting this on the radar. A key theme from the conference was around collaborative working - building a culture of trust and transparency rather than 'risk dumping' on our supply chains (great slide from Suzannah Nichol MBE 💙💛 featuring Ronnie Corbett on this!). This is critical when it comes to #modernslavery #duediligence - we need to work with our supply chains, acknowledge the risks and complex challenges and look at how we can support them and tackle these risks collaboratively. And remember, the Supply Chain Sustainability School has a whole load of both practical and strategic resources to help. Take a look here https://shorturl.at/W8a5N

The supply of warehouse space in Scotland for units over 100,000 sq ft now totals 1.36m sq ft across seven units, marking an 11% decline over the past six months, which indicates that the region is past the peak in vacancy. Based on the five-year average annual take-up, there is 1.72 years’ worth of supply in Scotland. The five-annual take-up for Grade A space is currently around 320,000 sq ft. With no Grade A supply available, occupiers must resort to BTS options or settle for smaller warehouses. The existing supply consists entirely of lower-quality units, with 42% being Grade B and 58% being Grade C. The recently completed Belgrave Logistics Park was the only Grade A building available, which has now been leased. Read more:

Cushman & Wakefield recently released its in-depth analysis of the Northeast Industrial Corridor, underscoring the region's significance as a central hub for warehouse and logistic operations. “The New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania Industrial Corridor showcases a dynamic and competitive landscape where companies can take advantage of logistical efficiencies and an affluent consumer base, making it a powerhouse in the logistics and warehousing sectors. Coupled with the region’s proximity to major metros and population centers, there are many robust reasons for companies to invest in their presence here,” said Cushman & Wakefield's John Obeid.

Want to help your purchasing team and departments stay compliant while getting the goods and services they need faster? Over the last few months, Pavilion has been collaborating with Karl S. and The Woodlands Township! Karl is empowering the Township's departments to easily purchase goods and services by deploying Pavilion - a free resource for public entities. With Pavilion, departments can follow crucial compliance guidelines & streamline the purchasing process. We hosted a training for the Township's departments earlier this summer and now we've launched their purchasing guide. This guide is tailored specifically for The Woodlands Township's procurement policies. If a department has a question about how to move forward with a purchase, they have a touchstone they can come back to. If you're interested in helping your purchasing team and departments get what they need easily while staying compliant, let me know! Happy to help support you & your team, too! #procurement #cooperativepurchasing #woodlandstownship #Pavilion #ProcurementStartsWithPavilion #purchasing #compliance #purchasingguide
