Year of Warehousing 80 Visits

Around the Warehouses in 80 Visits

As part of the Year of Warehousing, we’re thrilled to announce a truly transformative initiative: “Around the Warehouses in 80 Visits.” This ambitious quest will take us on a captivating journey across the United Kingdom, delving deep into the heart of the warehousing industry. And who better to lead this exploration than our esteemed UKWA Chief Executive, Clare Bottle.

All warehouses welcome!

This initiative is open to all UK warehouses, irrespective of size or scale. Whether you manage a small, family-owned operation or oversee a vast, state-of-the-art distribution centre, we invite you to be part of our 80th anniversary celebrations. 2024 is The Year of Warehousing and this is your opportunity to put your warehouse in the spotlight, to share your story, and to be recognised as an integral part of the warehousing community.

Fundraising

To celebrate 80 years of UKWA, your organisation and/or workforce is encouraged to raise a minimum of £80 for a local charity.
