I work with small to medium sized companies, helping them save money on transportation and logistics. As Head of Network Operations at BIA Global Logistics, I work directly with clients to tease out the specific challenges and to provide solutions. I have been in the logistics industry for decades, and there is yet to be a challenge that I cannot solve.Example:✅ BIAGL is the only freight forwarder in Ireland that can offer SOC’s - a solution to the scarcity of container equipment in China. This removes uncertainty about equipment availability, eliminates demurrage & detention, and saves our clients money. ✅ BIAGL is the only freight forwarder in Ireland that offers foldable 40 foot containers. When collapsed, four of these take up the same amount of space as one conventional container. This reduces empty return space and significantly reduces carbon footprint. 🇬🇧 Since 2018, I have consulted on supply chain management issues for Enterprise Ireland, Invest NI, and InterTrade Ireland. I have helped numerous companies from a variety of sectors to prepare for the impact to their supply chain from Brexit. I truly enjoyed bringing my years of experience to help passionate business owners prepare for this unprecedented event and survive. 🇮🇪Prior to that, I provided transport, logistics and fulfilment solutions for multinational companies across the globe.
