Alastair and I worked together for a relatively short time at CCL, but in that time I greatly valued his team leadership and supply chain thinking qualities. He has excellent relationship-building skills with customers across a wide range of industry sectors and company structures. His mentality is one of inquisition and constructive challenge, always knowing the right questions to ask and getting to the substance of issues quickly. Always popular amongst his colleagues, he has a very natural and personable style of management, supportive when needed and able to hold people to account when necessary. Very solid and detailed knowledge of Logistics & Technology, which he always puts to good use, generating ideas that focus on solving problems for customers and aligning solutions.

Alastair is a pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable in his area of expertise . It was a real pleasure to work with Alastair because he is open-minded and understands very well his customers's problems. He would be an asset to any company and I recommend him highly.
