I had the pleasure of working with Nigel for 4 years. He is a fantastic asset to a Transport business as he has a combination of depth of frontline final mile delivery experience in a ‘white glove’ environment but also a strong understanding of Fleet management requirements and the relevant legal compliance needs. He is very conscientious, and will go that extra mile to ensure everything is right both internally and for the customer.
