John's ready to "bridge the knowledge gap"

The Rail Logistics Company is delighted to welcome the vastly experienced rail freight expert John Holwell to its team.

John brings to the company a career's experience in freight and logistics.

He has worked in house or as an independent consultant for organisations the length and breadth of the country, from Scotland to Cornwall, Bristol to London, the Midlands to the north East.

John explained that his range of experience gave him an insight into how to remove some of the barriers that prevent organisations using rail in their logistical planning.

"There are sound commercial, political and environmental reasons to bring more traffic to rail.

"With my knowledge of logistics and rail freight," he said, "along with my contacts in the retail and manufacturing sectors I am able to help bridge the knowledge gap between potential rail users and rail providers."

John considers that there is a gap in the marketing and development of rail freight. This is something he and his colleagues in The Rail Logistics Company are fully able to cover.

"I believe that with colleagues at The Rail Logistics Company we can help people make sense of the so-called fragmentation of the railways and support the shift of freight to rail, targeting key areas and the creation of jobs."

John concluded: "If anyone needs advice contact TRLC on 01444 849375."
