With first-class references as a person, mentor, and superbly experienced project expert, he is a name well known not just due to time served by to due to the manner in which he has done so – a person to aspire to be alike.
Our judges noted, “you can teach skills, but you build experience - and it takes time. We are lucky that people like him remain in the industry long after they could have retreated to their pipe and slippers, sharing their expertise as well as support to build the next generation of logistics professional.”
