'Not the mother of all peak seasons'
Manage episode 348561778 series 2927200
In part 1 we examine what one express executive calls the ‘modest’ 2022 peak season. We look at companies such as Shopify and TikTok which are now investing heavily in their supply chains. We discuss integrator price hikes, US logistics challenges and the looming threat of labour strikes. And finally, we ask what Covid protests and lockdowns in China mean for global logistics, and whether a post-Covid ‘normalisation’ of supply chains will see a welcome return to more emphasis on human rights and procurement diversification.
Part Two is a deep dive with Xeneta’s Peter Sand into ocean shipping markets and how to manage contract renegotiations with carriers.
Guests
Greg Hewitt, CEO, DHL Express US
Emma Cosgrove, Senior Reporter covering logistics at Insider
Brian Bourke, Global Chief Commercial Officer, SEKO Logistics
Peter Sand, Chief Analyst, Xeneta
