Turning the tables on Beverley Bell

We turned the tables on Beverley Bell – find out what the former Senior Traffic Commissioner really thinks about key transport and logistics topics.

In the final episode of series two of Rerouting Logistics (available now on YouTube and Spotify), we asked our host Beverley Bell her thoughts on the issues she’s been grilling our guests over.

From recruitment challenges to men’s mental health (particularly in transport), there was a lot to cover in this bite-sized special episode!

Beverley Bell’s industry insights

In the episode, hosted by Aspion Search’s very own John Wilson, the pair kicked off their conversation by talking about the sector’s recruitment challenges…

“It’s about employing people with the right attitude – who want to do a full day’s work!”

From there, Beverley and John dive into a wide range of other hot topics, including:

• Diversity and inclusion in recruitment: “I try not to appoint people in my own image – because lots of people do that.”
• Consumer expectations and industry challenges: “‘I’ll go to ASOS, and I will buy five pairs of shoes and six dresses – and I’ll send back four pairs of shoes and five dresses.’ Who’s going to pay for that?”
• Mental health in logistics: “There’s something quite blokey about [saying] ‘I’m fine’, but they’re not.”
• Celebrating the sector: “We’re very good at having dinners to celebrate ourselves, amongst ourselves, but we don’t actually tell the world how good we are at what we do.”
• And more…
