Messages from our Global CILT Community

“My journey in logistics and transport began in the Royal Navy, where I learned firsthand the importance of precision, planning, and adaptability. The stakes were high, and every decision had an impact not just on operations, but on lives. After my service, I transitioned into the civilian sector, bringing with me those same values of efficiency, foresight, and resilience.

After one hundred years of existence, CILT made its first launch in a French-speaking country in Africa on November 14, 2023, coincidentally in Cameroon, which is also a bilingual country. This implies that Cameroon is the bridge or interface between the French-speaking and English-speaking countries of Africa. We hope that Cameroon’s strategic position will be maintained and exploited by CILT.

Working alongside CILT has been an honor. We celebrate not just 105 years of history, but the countless lives and careers the organization has transformed. My congratulations, CILT!

My close to 20 years CILT membership includes a period as Western Australian State Chair. The CILTA executives and members I have met over the years have definitely helped me become a better logistician as a result. The networking events provided opportunity to meet parliamentarians, statutory agency management, and importantly truck drivers, forklift divers and aspiring supply chain students. My knowledge and capabilities are better after experiencing these networking opportunities provided by CILT Australia.
