Customer Testimonial
As an accredited tutor with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), in 2008 Gwynne was my tutor on a Warehouse Management course.
Since then, Gwynne has proven to be an invaluable mentor and I hold the highest regard for the breadth and depth of Gwynne's detailed knowledge covering all aspects of logistics and supply-chain; he is diligent, always prompt and has helped me further develop my commercial knowledge of:
- Outsourcing Decisions
- Performance Management
- Benchmarking
- Warehouse Improvements, and
- Managing Supplier Relationships
Gwynne is articulate and has an instinctive ability to quickly simplify and break-down complex logistics issues. I recommend Gwynne as a trainer and his book is a must-read: The Logistics Outsourcing Handbook - Barry Thomas Teva Pharmaceuticals
