👋Hi. It’s nice to ‘meet’ you!

I’m doing a market research project on the needs and requirements of SME for business operations related to supply chain management, sustainable practices, and change management. As the owner of my firm, S&Co., Supply Chain Logistics Consulting through the last 6 years, I’ve identified major gaps in industry services for SME’s that need to be improved with better support.

I want to know your perspective and I have prepared a few focused questions that will support our ongoing research related to business operations efficiency - helping to identify how we can make better solutions for the needs and current priorities of businesses.

Do you have any availability in the next two weeks for a 30 minute interview?

If you are agreeable let’s have a meeting in person, or a video call.

I am a BIG supply chain nerd 🤓 (really !!) and I would be honored for an opportunity to see and learn about your business operations in person via site tours or meetings -provided that practical matters like authorised visitors, and distance for travel would allow it.

Interested? Great!

Let me know your thoughts and availability or use this calendar link to schedule a meeting with me.

Get me to call you back:

You can preview the surveys on our Research Study Substack newsletter.

Express your interest in joining as our business operations pilot partner here.
