Lower operational & supply chain costs in 90 Days 💵 | Business performance detective 🕵️♂️ | Private equity special advisor 💵
In 1996, I made the decision to study at Keele. I was acutely conscious that it wasn't a mainstream choice focusing on dual rather than single subject degrees. But it reflected a belief that has served me well; a broader knowledge of the world makes my specialist knowledge more useful. The choice of James Timpson as Chancellor of Keele in 2022 was another unconventional but inspired choice. I recall an interview he gave to the BBC where he reminded us success in business is about supporting people to be a success, rather than managing them. Listen to the interview here (https://lnkd.in/drfj83sB) or check out James' main points below. You won't go far wrong applying these. I try to live up to this every day at Insider Pro Ltd and help my team to do the same with each of our customers; 1. To get the best out of people, you need to show kindness to them 2. You have to understand the feelings & emotions of people to achieve financial results 3. To be a great boss, you need to know your people 4. A business is a community; support colleagues in everything 5. If they’re not happy in the job, help them to be happy somewhere else 6. It’s not all about growth and money; it’s about value, culture and giving back
We’re proud to have James Timpson OBE - CEO of one of the UK’s most socially responsible retailers - as Chancellor of our University. Like us, James understands the importance of being forward thinking, courageous, and unconventional, qualities reflected in how he runs his business.

CEO @ Ameriton Freight & Logistics | Supply Chain Consultant in Transportation Management | Inspirational Speaker
Honoring Black Innovators and Leaders in Transportation I would like to introduce Frederick McKinley “Casey” Jones. Frederick patented the mechanical transport refrigeration unit, which made it possible for long haul trucks and railroad cars to transport fresh and frozen foods around the world. The Inspiration: Jones was inspired to develop this cooling device after a truck driver told him about losing a large shipment of food after the tractor-trailer’s storage compartment overheated during a long-distance trip. The How: Jones made his biggest impact as an inventor, however, through his technological breakthroughs for the improved refrigeration of temperature-sensitive food products being shipped over long distances. He joined entrepreneur Joseph A. “Joe” Numero to form the U.S. Thermo Control Company (later known as Thermo King Corporation) to create systems for ensuring the success of such deliveries. As part of these efforts during the 1940s, Jones developed a means for refrigerating the interior of a long-haul truck’s tractor-trailer and thereby preventing the spoilage of food transported in the vehicle. His final patent was for a thermostat and control system for controlled spaces; according to the specifications for that system, “the invention is concerned with vehicles in which perishable products are transported.” In the time since his death, Jones has continued to be honored for his significant and even life-saving contributions to the transportation of goods across the globe. He was inducted into the Minnesota Inventors Hall of Fame in 1977. In 1991, Jones was posthumously awarded the National Medal of Technology by President George H.W. Bush. Jones was the first African-American to receive this honor. #freight #experience #analytics #supplychain #supplychainmanagement #supplychainsolutions #logisticscompany #logistics #shippers #imports #everythingfreight #smallbusiness #environmentalsustainability #environmentallyfriendly #sustainability #oceanfreight #refrigerated #warehousing #drayage #intermodal #oceanfreight #blackhistory
