"My role is to try to identify the most cost-effective routes and suppliers to help keep our logistics running smoothly and provide full transportation solutions for our teams."
I am responsible for the development of optimum freight routes within our network of carriers to best suit the requirements of the business. My role is to try to identify the most cost-effective routes and suppliers to help keep our logistics running smoothly and provide full transportation solutions for our teams.
I have over 20 years of experience in logistics, specialising in the chemical and oil and gas sectors. I started out in an operational role which later led on to account management, customer service and business development roles.
Overseas travel is one of my two big passions in life: the other is cookery. I regularly light up the coals on the BBQ or smoker and entertain friends and family with dishes from around the world.
