On time, or not, that is the question
In many ways, logistics is like a theatre show, particularly when we think about operational and transport planning. Paddy MacBrant explains why.
I joined Hatmill in 2023 following over 19 years’ experience in retail and eCommerce logistics. I spent 11 years in operational roles across Food, General Merchandise & Clothing and over 8 years’ experience in Infrastructural Capacity Modelling, Network Design/Strategy and Project Initiation.

The opportunity to join a progressive-thinking and dynamic supply chain consultancy in Hatmill was perfect for me as it allows me to work with a variety of clients and deliver creative solutions to meet their logistics needs.
My background was gained at ASDA Logistics Services. From a graduate scheme in 2003 that taught me operations in ambient, chill and clothing warehouse to several years as a Planning Manager covering headcount right-sizing, rota design and labour control. In 2014 I seized the opportunity to join the Engineering Team in Capacity, helping me develop skills in modelling, technical drawing, business case development and project initiation for large capital expenditure projects to accommodate future growth or business change.
I am trained in software packages AIMMS and Llamasoft’s Supply Chain Guru for Network Design as well as Körber Class and AutoCAD for technical drawing that compliment my capacity modelling. I love building mathematical representations of real-world operations and using them to find creative solutions for change projects.
