You've seen the lorries. But do you know the story?

Woodland Group is one of Essex's biggest businesses - a global supply chain logistics company with around 900 people across the UK, USA, Ireland and Asia, with Chelmsford at its heart. 

In this episode, Richard speaks to Jason Shuttleworth, who's been with the company for 21 years, to explore the journey from a Basildon phone number to a global business that moves everything from books under NDA to vinyl records on release day.

They cover what makes Chelmsford the right place to HQ a logistics company, why the culture hasn't shifted even as the headcount has grown to 900, and how Woodland's 15-year partnership with Essex Cricket and its work with the Panathlon charity reflect the values at the heart of the business.

There's also talk of life in New York, Essex's surprising global reputation, and why once you've met Woodland Group, you can't stop spotting the trucks.
