About Tom Dalgleish

I have a proven reputation for thinking strategically and delivering tactically against growth, service and cost related Initiatives. I have over 20 years working in complex Supply Chains across Retail, Food, Consumer Products and Distribution businesses. This work covers strategy development, tactical implementation and day to day running of the Supply Chain ( includes Strategic Sourcing/Merchandising, Customer Service and Plant Operations). I have a belief system that Supply Chains are how you wage war in business today to have a sustainable advantage that can\'t be easily replicated.
