The focus then shifts to exploring how businesses can be more flexible and pro-active in order to accommodate changes brought about by the pandemic\, and to build more resilient supply chains. \nThe spotlight then moves to a conversation with John Wood\, the internationally renowned Michelin starred chef\, F&B consultant and founder of the restaurant supply chain software business – Kitchen CUT. With over 30 years’ experience in world renowned kitchens\, as well as his direct involvement with supply chain solutions and clients in over 40 countries\, John will share his own personal views and observations on how food and beverage supply chains have been impacted in recent months\, as well as his insight on possible ways forwards. Attendees will be invited to put questions forward in a final Q&A and broader discussion. \nWhat will I learn? \n – The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on food and beverage supply chains\, regarding suppliers\, logistics\, pricing and demand\n–  The main considerations for developing flexible and resilient supply chains\n–  The importance of evaluating product/menu complexity\n–  The benefits of technology in the supply chain \nWho should attend? \nAny entrepreneur\, director\, or manager working in the food and beverage service sector\, chen CUT \nLink to book: www.scaleup360.co.uk/register

Amazon has made more than 150 significant process changes to ensure the health and safety of its team members. \nAdvice for guests \n• It is important that if you are experiencing any symptoms or been in contact with an individual with symptoms or diagnosed with COVID-19 that you do not attend the tour.\n• All guests visiting the fulfilment centre will go through a temperature check. If their temperature is too high\, they will be prevented from entering the centre.\n• Guests will be provided with a facemask or visor that must be worn at all times throughout the visit.\n• Please ensure you follow all social distancing guidelines and measures in place at the centre.\n• General parking is available free of charge at each fulfilment centre building. Depending on the site\, there may be designated guest parking. We recommend coming earlier to find parking.
