BizClik's new digital editions and events highlight focus on supply chain resilience and digitalisation

BizClik’s January publications and upcoming events emphasise strengthening supply chain resilience, visibility, and digitalisation, featuring insights from major industry figures and fostering industry-wide discussion.

BizClik has published the January editions of its Procurement & Supply Chain portfolio, rolling out new digital issues of Supply Chain Digital and Procurement Magazine that the company said offer interviews, company features, editorial analysis ...

According to the announcement, the issues concentrate on resilience, visibility and traceability in global supply chains and include features and interviews with major industry figures and firms. Supply Chain Digital’s December edition is said to include a cover feature on Aston Martin and NTT Data titled “Full Throttle Resilience: Aston Martin and NTT Data explore how smart diversification can build control, balance and confidence across global supply chains”, alongside company coverage of BW LPG and editorial pieces on adaptive networks and data visibility. Procurement Magazine’s December edition is presented as carrying a BMW cover feature, profiles of BW LPG and commentary on risks facing businesses and the role of procurement in driving ESG and innovation.

The firm highlighted several leadership soundbites in its release. Graeme Carter, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Coty, is quoted as saying “We’ve strengthened supplier relationships, increased dual sourcing and designed our manufacturing and logistics networks to be flexible.” Ricardo Ackermann, Head of Procurement at BW LPG, is quoted as saying “Procurement managers know how to position themselves towards suppliers, but internally it’s a completely different story.” John Cully, CPO at Amey, is reported to have said “By leveraging data more effectively, we can proactively engage suppliers with reliable information.” The announcement also reproduces a comment attributed to Nicolai Martin, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG Purchasing and Supplier Network: “All of the suppliers that want to be competitive and secure their business, they have to be data-ready. They have to work on their digitalisation, then it’s only a small step to enter Catena-X and the ecosystem.”

The release frames the portfolio as addressing areas including contract management, technology, risk and resilience, sustainable supply chains, logistics and operations, and says the titles reach a global audience of supply‑chain decision-makers and innovators driving digital transformation.

The publication push accompanies a wider events programme the company is promoting. The firm is preparing Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE: The Net Zero Summit, scheduled for early March at a central London venue, which it says will bring together procurement, supply‑chain and sustainability professionals to focus on decarbonisation and resilience. The company has also announced co‑located US summits and awards in April at a Chicago venue and virtual Middle East summits in early February, and said it will continue a global webinar series begun in late 2025.

Industry observers note the convergence of editorial output and events is a common model among B2B media operators seeking to monetise content through live and virtual gatherings. Supporters say editorial editions that showcase practitioner voices can help surface emergent approaches to data, diversification and supplier collaboration; critics warn such closeness between publishing and events can risk blurring editorial independence if commercial objectives dominate programming.

The company said the digital magazines and the events programme aim to accelerate discussion and practical action on supply‑chain transformation; readers and prospective attendees are directed to the publisher’s channels for access to the issues and event registration.
