Abstract

In this inspirational case study, the emergence of a new freight handling specialist, Britannia Dynamic Logistics [BDL], is outlined. We learn of one of the company’s founding members, Mr Nigel Piercy, and the synergistic business impact of his complementary people-centric and logistical skill sets.

Logistics impacts every phase of the supply chain. Logistical processes are deployed to ensure the timely transportation and storage of goods and products from warehouses and stores directly to customers. Cost-effectiveness processes are fundamental to viable operating. Working alongside other industries, such as retail, pharmaceuticals, events, and automotives, logistics has carved out a significant operational area of the economy.

Piercy’s emotionally intelligent aptitudes are shared to establish a professional orientation and skill repertoire which excel under challenging conditions. Aspects of Piercy’s daring part in a shared venture are portrayed where relationship competencies are shown to be an essential ingredient to BDL’s success.

Factors enabling the company’s operations are identified. Attention is given to the intangible yet impactful construct of trust as an assured and reliable currency in the business and its spheres of influence. Resultant effects on the articulation of commercial values, behaviours, and associated interactions with the client base and overall productivity, are depicted. The perplexity of the indelible imprint of emotional intelligence in the process-based industry of logistics, is not lost on all concerned.
