Tristan Blackie – DHL Supply Chain

Company: DHL

Role: Head of Account Management - Aviation & Travel

From playing sport in his youth, Tristan knew that he excelled within team environments.

Once he had completed his A-Levels he began to look for roles that might suit him. Logistics wasn’t an obvious choice, but once he found it, it was all systems go:

“Originally I joined DHL through a temp agency. Since then I have networked well to understand available opportunities within our business.”

Tristan enjoyed building relationships with clients, and the challenge of delivering against complex contracts – something typified by his career highlight on a project at London Heathrow Airport:

“After working to solve our operational challenges, I worked with our customer to support them with theirs. We ended up tendering for the full contract, which saw the revenue grow from £5m to £23m.”
