Welcome to The Logistics Collective

The Logistics Collective is a podcast platform for the logistics, supply chain and procurement functions.

It is intended to promote discussion, to share career experiences and advice and also to allow the sharing of best practice and innovation in these functional areas.

It is open to anyone interested in the logistics, supply chain and procurement functions at whatever level or stage of their career.

We welcome those employed in manufacturers, retailers or logistics service providers at any career stage. As this is intended to be an open exchange of ideas we do not exclude consultancies (including competitors of LOGURU) nor do we exclude any ancillary service providers to our named areas of interest.

This channel is managed and financially supported by LOGURU Ltd who are a Logistics, Supply Chain and Procurement Consultancy focused on process understanding, supply chain optimisation, network optimisation, implementation of operational and technology solutions and most of all we have the project management methodology to ensure the safe delivery of change. We have formed and are forming long and innovative relationships with our clients across the globe.

We are not theorists, we are experienced industry professionals that absolutely understand what great looks like.

Why listen to our podcasts?

We get a huge amount of positive feedback about how enjoyable they are to listen to and about what people have learned. 

If you do listen, do engage positively too. Make comments, share what has chimed with you but also, politely, what did not!

If you want to hear the career journeys of the incredible people we interview, put the kettle on and take 30 minutes or so out of your day to relax.
