Leading supply chain and consultancy, SCALA, has confirmed details of its 17th Annual Supply Chain Debate. On 25 June, supply chain thought leader John Gattorna will be joined by John Munnelly, head of operations at John Lewis Partnership.

This is alongside Gavin Chappell, group supply chain and logistics director at Holland & Barrett. Also, Phil Wood, associate director of strategic programmes at Mondelēz international.

The panel will discuss how Covid-19 is impacting the future of supply chains. Also, what supply chain leaders will do in response.

SCALA directors Dave Howorth and David Grahamslaw will co-host the virtual debate, which promises an informative session. It will explore the effects that Covid-19 has had on sourcing ability and supply chain resilience. Not to mention sector agility and the industry’s long-term sustainability.

In light of Covid-19, experts will be gathering virtually via Zoom for the 17th year of the debate. The event will address major changes affecting the supply chain sector as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic.

The theme of the discussion is ‘Covid-19: What is the future for the supply chain?’

Commenting on the debate is John Perry, managing director at SCALA. “In our 17th year of hosting our Annual Supply Chain Debate, we will be focusing on how the coronavirus pandemic could fuel change in the sector.

“Securing leading global supply chain gurus and executives across some of the UK’s biggest brands and major retailers is a great way to lead the discussion. I have no doubt that they will provide some key insights into the future of the trade and how businesses can prepare for what’s to come.”
