In a first of a series of interviews with up and coming leaders in UK cold chain businesses I talk to Soraya Karimi-Ghovanlou Supply Chain Director at Smithfield Foods UK. A fascinating conversation seeing the recent and current issues facing the cold chain through the eyes of a business that is a customer of cold chain services. As a major importer of protein from EU into UK, Smithfield have navigated Brexit and global supply insecurity.
Shane and Soraya explore what makes up a strong relationship between supply chain operations in an importing business and their transport and storage partners.
