F.H. Bertling Logistics’ Post

Hiring Frank Elkins as CEO of Selco Builders Warehouse and GB Distribution for Grafton Group plc is a stunning acquisition! He is a true industry legend and a man of the upmost integrity. He will lead this business to even greater success, building on the excellent work of Howard Luft. If I were an executive at Stark and especially Travis Perkins I would now be very concerned. How many people will follow Frank out of the ones they have left who haven't joined John? How many customers will make the switch? How did Travis Perkins manage to lose so many good leaders? People like Frank, John Carter, and Kieran Griffin. Frank or Kieran could have been their next CEO. As I said in a post the other day, succession planning is vital to the success of a business. Of course, people leave companies for many different reasons. Some are pushed, others make the choice, wanting a new challenge in a new environment. For others it's a case of losing faith in the leadership above. Losing one of these great men is forgiveable, losing all three could be considered negligent. Frank was last years winner of the BMJ Industry Personality of the Year Award, sponsored by Wilson Brook Consulting. Will he now, in the years ahead, become the first person to win it twice? I have done loads of recruitment for Selco both in the 2000's, when they weren't so well known, and more recently. Frank - we're ready to help again whenever required, well at least once I'm back from my holiday in Mauritius! It would be a pleasure to work with you! And you know what you'll receive in the meantime don't you? Yes, that's correct, the famous Wilson Brook Consulting new starter documents and congratulations card! #BuildingMaterials #buildingproducts #careeropportunities #BuildersMerchant #recruitment

"We're NOT a Cinderella, because when we play our A-game, we can be the best team on the floor." ~ Jack Gohlke, Oakland Golden Grizzles Guard after upsetting # 3 Seeded Kentucky Wildcats in last evening's NCAA Tournament. What is a "Cinderella" in Sports and is there a Parallel to the Logistics Industry? In sports, a "Cinderella" team refers to an underdog unexpectedly excelling and overcoming the odds to succeed. This term captures the imagination of fans and media, portraying these teams as unexpected successes in the grand tapestry of competition. However, to the athletes themselves and those within the team, the label "Cinderella" doesn't resonate. They understand the immense work, grit, and belief in one another that brought them to this point. Their journey isn't a fairy tale; it's the result of hard, consistent effort and unwavering determination. This concept finds a parallel in the logistics industry, particularly within our team at Rhode Sense. It's not about magical transformations but about the relentless hard work, detailed planning, and teamwork that goes into our efforts. In logistics, as in sports, success is not just about overcoming visible challenges. It's about the countless hours of preparation, the attention to detail, and the collective belief that no obstacle is insurmountable. At Rhode Sense, we embody this in every project we undertake. We don't wait for a fairy godmother; we create our own destiny, one delivery at a time. Remember, a Cinderella story is only so to the outside world. To those who live it, it's a testament to their commitment and hard work. In the spirit of Rhode Sense, we continue to operate by our guiding motto: "Where there's a road, we'll find a way."

The last 8.5 years at D5 and Song were invaluable. From Super Bowl to experiential, creative to measurement and media planning, I learned so much from all the amazing humans that have made D5/Song a powerhouse. UFA is an end-to-end creative marketing firm focused on helping growth stage brands graduate from niche to mass market competitor. Many companies at this stage are rapidly expanding through new product and service offerings or expanded distribution channels or geographic footprint. As the ambition of the business grows, the game changes and it becomes clear a new marketing playbook is necessary to succeed. My ambition is to be the best partner in the world for brands as they navigate these major mindset, strategy and executional adjustments. Chubbies Shorts is a great example and I couldn't be happier to be partnering with Rainer Castillo marie malette and team. They’re poised for incredible growth and already taking the steps to elevate how they compete in the broader lifestyle apparel market. They’re a bold brand with strong values, world class product and talent. We’re only just getting started but I’m thrilled to see our partnership develop. It’s a season of change in the marketing world. I hope to influence how the creative industry evolves to create better outcomes for the talent behind the work and also the brands who commission it. If you’re a founder or a marketer and think this sounds like where your brand is today, let’s connect. If you’re freelancing, looking for a new gig, or an old friend and want to say, Hi, hit me up. More to come.

FOMO is not a sound strategy for job hunting. Instead, join a company because… – You’ve built or can see yourself building strong relationships there – The growth trajectory is awesome – You admire the leadership – Your values are aligned with theirs – They have Pizza Fridays (JK, but not really) The above list is not exhaustive, but you get the point. Define what success means to you and then relentlessly pursue companies that fit.

Finally ready to start your house hunt? Here are a few tips to ensure your search goes as smoothly as possible. Tammy Eigenman Broker / Agent / Team Leader The Eigenmanteam.com 636-219-8062
