Martin Wright

I am a Logistics Consultant and Strategic Logistics Network Design Specialist with over 25 years’ industry experience. I help businesses design logistics networks that support growth and balance cost, service and resilience.

I enjoy understanding complex operations, working with client teams and turning analysis into real-world outcomes.

Strategic logistics network design grounded in operational experience

I lead strategic logistics network reviews, helping clients assess future requirements and build the case for change. My experience spans network modelling, business case development and implementation.

I bring together specialists in inventory, transport, finance, warehouse automation and change management. Alongside project leadership, I contribute technical modelling expertise and challenge the assumptions underpinning recommendations.

My approach combines detailed analysis with an understanding of commercial and operational realities. I build relationships across client teams and explain complex findings clearly, helping stakeholders assess options and agree a direction.

My career began in transport operations, followed by a Transport & Logistics Management degree at the University of Huddersfield. I subsequently worked in third-party logistics and have worked with Hatmill since 2016.

My sector experience includes retail, manufacturing, construction and automotive, alongside aviation and public sector projects.

Some of my recent projects have included:

  • Leading a UK network review for a fashion retailer, developing a proposal to accommodate e-commerce growth and greater resilience. The proposed network increases stock density and positions stock closer to customers across fewer locations
  • Reviewing an airline caterer’s UK network, identifying an opportunity to improve efficiency and reduce the depot footprint through regional delivery
  • Developing a future logistics network for Greggs to support growth to approximately 3,500 stores. The work culminated in board approval for two automated distribution centres handling frozen, chilled and ambient products
  • Reviewing Dr. Martens’ European supply chain, identifying cost reduction opportunities through better pallet utilisation and revised delivery arrangements

I enjoy helping clients understand their options and develop a practical direction for their logistics network.

For me, the value of network design lies in helping people make significant decisions in confidence. That means understanding the operation, testing the assumptions and making the implications clear.

By improving their demand forecast, we helped one client save £3m in agency staffing costs (that’s an 18% reduction).
