Project Specialist: Distribution
Charles Reid joined ERA in 2005, after a 13-year career within the Parcel distribution market with Securicor Omega Express (now Yodel) and latterly as Managing Director of an ANC Express Franchise (now FedEx UK).
Charles has delivered consistently for ERA’s clients both as a successful Key Account Manager and Project Specialist.
Since 2017, after spending more than a decade in Business Development, Charles has predominantly concentrated his time as a Distribution Project Specialist and has successfully delivered consistently several £million per annum savings to the clients he works with, majoring in the Ecommerce/Retail, Wholesale and the Manufacturing sectors.
In 2020, James Dawson joined his team, bringing a wealth of additional expertise which has led to further significant benefits to his clients.
Charles’s value in working on behalf of clients comes from applying his expertise and market knowledge to ensure that Parcel, Pallet and same day Courier providers offer cost-effective solutions to meet current and future business needs.
His unrivalled C-Suite industry contacts mean he has relationships to leverage across a wide range of suppliers, so he can always find the most appropriate solution for clients.
Charles’ ability to uncover all the detail ensures he can quantify requirements expertly, delivering clear and precise instructions to the supply market and enabling them to return with lean, optimal pricing.
His expertise also allows him to advise businesses on how best to manage their distribution operations and internal policies and procedures to generate financial savings that can be used elsewhere in the organisation.
Able to talk to suppliers on an equal footing in their own language, Charles can challenge supplier margins, assumptions and contracts, so they can table best value solutions.
Over the years, many clients have benefitted from Charles’ experience and exceptional attention to detail. Reach out to Charles today using his contact details above.
