YRC Logistics Southampton
I have a day booked at our Southampton facility on Friday 3rd Oct, as we are conducting some internal and client training on our PowerView PO System.
It is good timing as I have just seen a 30 day review on a section of new business they handled for a massive global company.
By offering daily air uplift the client has seen an immediate benefit in terms of their turnaround by 1.5% which has significant cash advantages as well as improve client satisfaction.
That seems for a good reason for an evening at Southampton Marina to celebrate.

Global Trade Management
YRCL EU designed a Global Trade Management (GTM) concept in 2006 with the aim to help clients improve their fiscal and physical supply chain. The idea was great as it talked about reaching all levels of clients not just the largest who can invest in expensive systems or resources to help with change. Unfortunately the delivery did not match the theory. Shame on us but it is better to realise this and correct than continue on the same path.
At the same time GTM was launched in the USA by Mr Paul Fitzpatrick. Paul has forgotten more about logistics, or you want to call it, than I will ever know (if you read this Paul I mean no reference to age I promise) and with his team he has found many areas to increase clients profits. Some of it by looking around corners to pre-empt new quota restrictions or duty rates being planned for 3 months time. Some of it by moving a process to origin to reduce expensive destination warehousing. Clients who have entered into a partnership plan with the GTM process have greatly benefited and I want to make sure we provide this in Europe. Getting the right staff to lead this will be key and I believe we now have those staff positioned. More information will be shared through publications and our sales teams in the near future.
