BROOKES - Key Persons
A passionate, straight-talking customer centric B2B and B2C supply chain expert who provides strategic consultation, advice, and interim management to companies around the world.
Over a 30-year career he has developed a holistic approach to high service global supply chains, supply chain transformation, lean six sigma, product development, customer service and aftermarket strategy and implementation, risk mitigation, and step change improvement of inventory management.
He has worked with such notables as United Biscuits, Autoglass, Honeywell, RS Components, Travis Perkins, LoveCrafts.com and recently Brookes, supporting supply chain digital twins for retailers and distributors.
During this time Charles worked with Brookes and has used SO99+ with multiple clients to develop their supply strategies and to support their operational improvements. He supports Brooke's by bringing broader supply chain insights and helping extract value from our solutions - more than just IT systems.
A lot of his work has been on how companies implement supply chains that are able to handle the uncertainty we all live in. While forecasting is key, it needs to be positioned within a broader supply context that not everything can be forecasted; a resilient supply model is a combination of good planning, appropriate customer offers and an adaptive supply chain.
Prior to Kearney, Charles worked for one of the leading UK retailers.
