Key Services Offered:
Nearly all businesses have a supply chain; most of them view
their logistics as a necessary cost, which is frequently too
high, and something which tends to go wrong at the most inopportune
moment. I offer practical and effective help with logistics and
supply chain problems, from sorting out your existing warehouse,
suppliers or customer interfaces, to setting up a new logistics
operation.

organisations' supply chains; outsourcing logistics operations,

I grasp complex issues fast to devise
practical solutions and make it happen through a hands on approach
which clients appreciate. Have managed diverse projects from
total company re-location to development of a semi-automated
picking system. I love making things "work" where they
were not, and finding elegant and effective solutions to both
old and new problems and I am equally happy at strategic or detailed
level. For fun I race a pre-war racing car.
