Cafes and salons are places to gain knowledge and insights; places for ideas and discussion. They are informal and open and the emphasis is on sharing and debating. We – that is Joan Aitken (Traffic Commissioner for Scotland); Derek Halden (DHC Loop Connections, and immediate past chair of CILT in Scotland); Professor Iain Docherty (Professor of Public Policy and Management at Glasgow University); Dr Neil Ferguson (Strathclyde University Engineering Department); and Dr Malcolm Reed (Ex Chief Executive of SPT and Transport Scotland) are setting up Cafe Logistique as an informal forum for dis- cussion of all matters of transport and logistics. Each of us have formal roles within logistics and transport in regulation, education; technolo- gy, consultancy, administration and policy. We are members of Institutes and Networks but we are aware that there is a gap – somewhere where ideas, policies, research and practice can be discussed and debated away from formal responsibilities. Transport is at the heart of our lives, arguably at the heart of civilisation (now there’s an idea worth discussing) Our first meeting will be on Monday 2 February at 6pm in the Basement of The Iron Horse Bar, 115 West Nile Street, Glasgow, G1 2SB . We will use this meeting to have an open dis- cussion about Café Logistique and hope this will be the first of regular meetings initially in Glasgow city centre. Meetings will be free to attend and all we ask is that you come to listen, to discuss, to learn and to give us all ideas for making logistics and transport work for all. We hope you will join us.

Cafes and salons are places to gain knowledge and insights; places for ideas and discussion.
They are informal and open and the emphasis is on sharing and debating.
We – that is Joan Aitken (Traffic Commissioner for Scotland); Derek Halden (DHC Loop
Connections, and immediate past chair of CILT in Scotland); Professor Iain Docherty
(Professor of Public Policy and Management at Glasgow University); Dr Neil Ferguson
(Strathclyde University Engineering Department); and Dr Malcolm Reed (Ex Chief Executive
of SPT and Transport Scotland) are setting up Cafe Logistique as an informal forum for dis-
cussion of all matters of transport and logistics.
Each of us have formal roles within logistics and transport in regulation, education; technolo-
gy, consultancy, administration and policy. We are members of Institutes and Networks but we
are aware that there is a gap – somewhere where ideas, policies, research and practice can be
discussed and debated away from formal responsibilities.
Transport is at the heart of our lives, arguably at the heart of civilisation
(now there’s an idea worth discussing)
Our first meeting will be on Monday 2 February at 6pm in the Basement of The Iron Horse
Bar, 115 West Nile Street, Glasgow, G1 2SB . We will use this meeting to have an open dis-
cussion about Café Logistique and hope this will be the first of regular meetings initially in
Glasgow city centre. Meetings will be free to attend and all we ask is that you come to listen,
to discuss, to learn and to give us all ideas for making logistics and transport work for all. We
hope you will join us.
