Logistics Specialists

"Susan is a consummate and driven professional in all aspects of Supply Chain Management. She has a clear passion to succeed and is one of the most effective leaders I have had the pleasure to work with. Susan has achieved much in her career and is one of those magical people that can deliver excellence in very challenging environments. I’m clear that although much has been achieved by Susan there’s much more to come. Firm recommendation."

"I worked with Sue whilst she was an Executive Director at SCAS. Within my role as Audit Manager, I found Sue could articulate clearly the risks and core issues facing a wide range of operational areas. Sue has a very good understanding of the process of change management, the risks around change and how to mitigate these within an organisation. She is also very easy to work with, transparent and honest as well as  a willingness to explain technical issues and listen to other points of view."

"A truly inspirational leader with an ability to deliver key projects by ensuring high performance across multi-discipline teams. As a procurement category manager, I had the pleasure of working with Sue on a number of out-sourcing warehousing and radial distribution projects as part of a cross-functional team. Sue’s leadership, professionalism and drive to implement significant change in supply chains is second to none and was a major factor in successfully delivering projects that not only improved P&L profitability but maintained customer service excellence."

"Sue was assigned as my personal mentor as part of the Hovis (Premier Foods) Graduate Scheme. We fit together very well, we are both women working in male-dominated industries and having her advice and support on how to manage sometimes difficult and awkward situations so early in my career was invaluable. I continue to use the tools she taught me and have shared them with colleagues and friends. After the completion of the graduate scheme and having both moved on in our respective careers, Sue and I still keep in touch. Sue continues to be a supportive influence, encouraging me in my career."

"I worked with Sue for a number of years and in two separate organisations. In both cases, Sue deployed her skills, knowledge and personal drive to fundamentally change operational performance and to deliver improved results across a balanced scorecard. She is an exemplar of strong leadership; setting stretching but clear goals and both challenging and supporting her team to deliver them. She is passionate about personal development (of herself and her wider team) and is decisive when tackling underperformance. I wholeheartedly recommend Sue to any organisation which is ready to drive positive change within their supply chain."

"I had the pleasure of working for Sue for approaching 18 months whilst she was COO at Bidvest. I found her an excellent leader who inspired others to excel. She was both challenging but fair and supportive. She successfully lead a number of change initiatives and proved herself determined to succeed. She was also able to utilise her breadth of knowledge and experience in the industry."

"I have worked previously with Susan Byrne, supplying contract hire services, whilst she was Head of Operations at Dairy Crest. Sue was great to work with and extremely professional. She always valued suppliers and treated them with the utmost respect. Great people skills and knowledge of the market always ensured the best value and best practice for her business operations. She also valued service which is refreshing in such a challenging industry. I'd have no problems in recommending Sue, as she would add value to any business."

"Sue was good to work with; challenging and direct whilst being supportive and fair. I found Sue's counsel extremely valuable and our conversations regularly prompted me to consider intended decisions and to make bold choices. I will take the benefits of our conversations forward through my career."
