July – August Issue 2026
Logistics has always depended on keeping goods moving, but the ability to adapt is becoming just as important as speed and efficiency. Businesses are balancing pressures around cost and capacity with shifting trade relationships, geopolitical disruption and growing expectations for greater supply chain visibility.
This issue explores how the industry is responding. Our Big Interview features Steve Parker, Director General of BIFA, who discusses the importance of freight forwarding and how the sector is adapting to an increasingly complex global trading environment. Freight forwarders operate where regulation, capacity, infrastructure and international trade meet, giving them a valuable perspective when certainty can be difficult to find.
Our Innovator interview features Paul Nazzaro, CEO of Consolidated Chassis Management. He examines how fleet modernisation and better use of operational data can help carriers reduce costs, improve utilisation and make more informed decisions across complex freight networks.
Our Warehousing and Distribution feature considers the warehouse’s increasingly strategic role, examining automation, digital visibility, flexible infrastructure and sustainability. Material Handling Equipment continues this theme, looking at how investment decisions made today can support the operations businesses will need in the future.
Automation and AI explores where technology can deliver measurable improvements, with successful adoption depending on businesses understanding their processes before deciding where automation can provide genuine value.
Our attention also turns to air cargo. Inventory Management Systems examines how real time visibility and improved cargo accuracy can support faster decision making. Ecommerce Fulfilment considers the growing importance of capacity, visibility and flexibility as customer expectations continue to develop.
We also look ahead to the Retail and Supply Chain Expo New York this September, where conversations around technology, fulfilment and supply chain performance will continue.
