Bio
Tom Cosens
I really enjoyed working with Bob over the years. He is a respected senior manager with broad business understanding and deep knowledge of logistics and supply chains. Highly regarded for his personal integrity, Bob is comfortable in managing small or large teams. He is an excellent communicator with the presentation skills to hold a large audience’s attention. He can bring significant benefits to any organisation he joins delivering long term efficiencies through strategic initiatives.

Had the pleasure of working for Bob the last six years and throughout that time he has provided high quality mentoring, coaching, and feedback - not only within our team but also for the benefit of the wider business. He builds solid connections across a wide range of internal and external stakeholders and thinks strategically to determine direction of travel. A competent and talented leader.

Bob is one of the most successful LPLs (Large Project Leader) within Honda Motor Europe organisation. I have always had Mr. Mountain's confidence as a great source of motivation in building up the Logistics Structure for Turkey, and then in the projects in the UK. He is an expert in handling multinational business environment and can convince all of the parties in common sense approach. I have had his support in Logistics Management, from 2006 to 2010, and learned a lot from his experience on Supply Chain applications. I wish him all the success for the rest of his career..
