Olly bought into Magnus Group Ltd in 2019. Since then, he has overseen a rapid transformation of Magnus Group into a leading player in transport, warehousing and freight forwarding. He leads from the top but places considerable emphasis on building a team and empowering them to grow with the business.
Olly wears his heart on his sleeve. Known for phrases such as "be kind" and "be kind on the way up, as you never know who you will meet on the way back down" (attributed to the teachings of his mother) he has become a bit of a LinkedIn legend for sharing his journey, and supporting others.
Paul Magnus started a shipping agency in Felixstowe in 1973. The business went on to become Magnus Group. After Paul's death in 2018, his son Olly sold up his own business to buy shares in Magnus Group and bring the business back under family ownership.
