Logistics venture launched by former Asda distribution director

FORMER Asda distribution director David Gibbons is launching a new logistics consultancy business.

Mr Gibbons has been joined by recruitment veteran Chris Yelland to launch The Logistics People which will combine logistics operations expertise with the ability to supply workers.

He said:  “I know how much of an issue finding the right people for your business can be and just how much disruption a trail of incompatible candidates can cause.

“Building upon my experiences within the industry, I knew a change to the way logistics companies did business was imperative.

“That is why we offer effective tailored solutions to fit each individual business; we want to work closely with our customers to ensure we are providing the right solutions both for short and long term operational efficiency – rather than just throwing people at their problems.”

The Logistics People will focus on fast moving consumer goods businesses, providing staff at all levels from warehouse workers to senior managers.
