HRH The Princess Royal, Patron of Transaid, will visit the Annual Convention of the International Federation of Warehousing Logistics Associations (IFWLA) at the Town Hall in Liverpool, Merseyside on Tuesday 2 June 2015.
During the visit, Her Royal Highness will meet representatives from the UK and global logistics community who will be congregating in Liverpool for the Convention and UKWA (United Kingdom Warehousing Association) hosted conference. The Princess will also speak about the importance of international development charity Transaid’s work and support from the International community.
UKWA adopted Transaid as its official charity in 2013. In addition to financial support, UKWA encourages its member companies to contribute directly towards Transaid’s work by providing volunteers to take part in technical secondments overseas.
IFWLA’s President – Derrick Potter, Chairman of Potter Logistics UK, said: “We are honoured and tremendously excited to welcome HRH The Princess Royal to our Convention in Liverpool.
