Bio
Matthew Mitchell
I've been very lucky to work with Raj at 2 different companies over the last 16 years as a college and as his Manger. Raj is not only a very experienced professional in all aspects of inventory management but a fantastic team player. I would recommend Raj to any company looking for a reliable and dedicated employee with a lot of experience to give in planning, forecasting, shipping and purchasing. Raj hasn't only been a work college but a very good friend and I wish him all the very best and I do hope to work with him again one day soon.

Raj is one of the best Supply chain & logistics operators in the market. Someone who comes to work with a smile everyday and just that positive goto attitude that companies always seek to find in their employees but is extremely rare. Raj has the ability to manage multiple vendors, warehouses and retail outlets ensuring inventory is quite simply not something that business needs to worry about as it’s in the safest hands possible. Keeping management updated with relevant reports and some fantastic insightful information about fast moving and slow moving lines, Raj drove some great outcomes for the business.
