Blog for updates and happenings in logistics in Singapore
Thankfully we have seen fuel prices dropping these last few weeks but many market analysts and industry players say that this is merely a temporary trend and that we will see fuel prices heading north in the near future.
Coupled to this gloomy perspective, many carriers are either ditching older, non fuel efficient aircraft or laying off employees.
Where do you think the market is headed and what are the steps you think we need to take to head off this crisis ?
The Logistics & Supply Chain Distinction Awards have been announced.
Check them out under our News Section.
Update: Photos of the event now available here!
We would like to invite our members and friends for an evening of discussion with one of the premier personalities in Logistics in Asia today, Stuart Dickinson on the 10th July @6pm. Having recently joined leading executive recruiter, Logistics Recruitment in the role of Strategic Business Development Manager, Stuart possesses an extensive background in supply chain, logistics, sport and policing.
His operational and management experience in the transport, logistics and supply chain fields includes a successful background in developing and managing executive business relationships within one of Australia’s tier one logistics and transport operators.
An International rugby referee, and a bestselling author on the game, Stuart’s involvement for a long period of time at the highest levels of rugby shows a proven ability to maintain the highest standards of professionalism as well as the ability to manage change and make decisions under extreme pressure.
“Supply Chain is all about detail and discipline and Stuart brings these qualities to our business at the highest level,” Kim Winter, Group Managing Director, Logistics Recruitment.
Stuart is a specialist across the spectrum of customer satisfaction, with a passion for developing and maintaining high quality long term relationships and outcomes for clients and candidates.
So joins us for this great opportunity to meet Stuart, and to hear his thoughts and opinions on the opportunities in international supply chain management today. In the comfortable setting of the Masonic Club on Coleman Street, our guests will also enjoy refreshments in the spirit of our relaxed & informal theme.
