Fred May is working with Tesco in Malaysia to advise on transport strategies that accommodate the retailer’s future growth.
Fred recently completed a successful transport integration for the Tesco teamin Thailand, known as ‘One Team’. He was recently appointed Linfox’s RetailProject Director and took on the work with Tesco Malaysia as his first critical project.
“Tesco has invested in substantial ‘ambient’ and ‘fresh’ DCs as part of a major growth program that will double their store presence in Malaysia over the next five years,” said Fred.
“They must implement Tesco’s global Transport Management System (TMS) and leverage economies of scale from their new distribution network. Our focus is on achieving transport efficiencies and cost savings.”
Fred brings considerable management capability and operational lessons from his work with Tesco in Thailand, Tesco’s largest distribution and transport operation in Asia.
Linfox will also invest fleet assets for Tesco Malaysia to provide operational flexibility and the base for overall safety, productivity and performance enhancements.
