Philip started out in the military, later becoming a logistics officer and supporting operations both in the UK and overseas. After leaving the military, he moved into logistics, where he continued to focus on leading people and solving problems.
“For me, leading people and solving problems is where the magic is.”
Since joining British Bakels, Philip has seen an evolution in our customer base, with more varied requirements, formats and routes to market than ever before.
To support this shift, Bakels is increasingly turning to technology to help bridge the gap between complexity and service. Philip believes this investment in systems and capability will keep the business strong and well positioned for the next decade.
Alongside technology, Philip is clear that people remain the most important factor.
“The Bakels team are a diverse group, with different backgrounds, experiences and skill sets. They are empowered to make decisions and take ownership, which helps the business stay agile and respond to issues faster than competitors.”
“I like the interaction and the camaraderie. People here want to find solutions, and that makes us agile. We can solve problems quickly because people are willing to get involved.”
For Philip, that combination of technology, capability and people is what enables British Bakels to continue evolving and supporting customers in a changing market.
