About me.

Lets get acquainted.

  • I gained a BSc with First Class Honors in Logistics Management, which took 4 years to earn.
  • I later returned to university for 5 years to gain a PhD in Supply Chain Strategy.

  • Forklift Driver, Warehouse Operative
  • Warehouse Manager
  • Project Manager
  • Project Analyst
  • Transport Planner
  • Supply Chain Consultant

In my free time I can be found: 

  • Playing tennis regularly
  • Watching Leicester City play football. I’m a big LCFC fan, and celebrated the iconic Premier League title win in 2015/16.
