Toll Group has launched a new expert-led webinar series designed to deliver practical, solution-led insights that support customers and prospects in navigating complex supply chain challenges.
The first session, Supply Chain Uncertainty in the Middle East: Rerouting, Realtime Solutions, and Resilience, took place on 1 April 2026. The live webinar brought together Toll specialists alongside Dr. Vinh Thai, Professor of Logistics & Supply Chain Management at RMIT University, to share practical insights on managing disruption across a complex and fast‑moving regional trade environment.
The discussion explored sustained challenges impacting Middle East supply chains, including geopolitical tensions, disruption across key maritime routes and shifting global trade corridors. The panelists examined how operational agility, real-time visibility and routing decisions are increasingly critical to maintaining continuity as disruption becomes a constant feature of global supply chains.
Key takeaways included:
- How regional disruption and geopolitical risks will continue to evolve and reshape global trade routes
- Speed, flexibility and informed decision-making remain critical to operational continuity
- Practical approaches to building resilience and preparing supply chains for periods of heightened uncertainty
- Case study of using alternative routing through Toll Group Sea-Air solution to mitigate delays and capacity constraints

As businesses navigate rapid change, we’re committed to equipping our customers with the insights and perspectives they need to stay ahead,” shared Renee Wong, Global Head of Marketing.
Added Andrew Whitehouse, Senior Vice President UK – Toll Global Forwarding, “This series is about helping customers translate industry shifts into real commercial gains.
