“The completion of our largest logistics tender underscores our dedication to excellence and innovation,” added Swift. “This move aims to simplify and optimise our supply chain operations, boosting efficiency, alleviating complexity, and managing high growth effectively – it’s about growth at pace, grounded in strong operational foundations.”

Driven by the need for faster logistics activities and enhanced connectivity, AJW’s strategy positions the company for sustained growth and operational excellence. This transformative approach focuses on robust and resilient operational capabilities.

GBA Global Solutions Managing Director, Pete Wilkinson commented, “The management team of GBA Global Solutions are delighted to be given the opportunity to support with the simplification and optimization of AJW supply chain and are looking forward to furthering our collaboration by extending upon the Airside Logistics Services we have been providing for the past five years.”
