A working notebook from a former Head of Logistics — practical takes on the questions UK operators are actually asking today.
Long-form pieces on compliance, performance, cost, network and leadership — each written from the perspective of running the operation, not observing it.
O-licence, tachograph, WTD and DVSA readiness — how well-run operators stay ahead of enforcement.
MPG, utilisation, routing, workshop discipline — the metrics that move the transport line.
Where operators leak margin quietly, and the levers that materially reset cost-to-serve.
Footprint, trunking and last-mile design in an environment of shifting demand and rising cost.
Practical, non-hype applications of dashboards, automation and AI in UK logistics operations.
Building and leading resilient transport functions — culture, capability and cadence.
