Meeting the people who have to deal with the operational reality of controlling multiple platform assets and finding a solution that fits in with their working day that also gives cost effective management.

My kids – starting my own business meant that I could adapt my working day to spend time with them and earn money at the same time.

An all in one spanner! I work in so many areas in the supply chain and warehouse and need so many different skills I never know which one I will need during the day.
