Blog from Simon Dixon, Peel Ports Head of Commercial (Containers) at The Port of Liverpool

Simon Dixon, Peel Ports’ Head of Commercial (Containers) at the Port of Liverpool gives us an insight into how he is dealing with challenging times within the supply chain and how rail is making a difference.

These are challenging times for everyone involved in the supply chain. In Liverpool, we continue to support the industry with a number of innovative initiatives that assist our customers re-evaluate the way they conduct their business.

With many within the North West using alternative terminals, we enable customers to shorten the last mile, using port centric solutions within Liverpool for devanning and onward transportation or the potential use of our expanding rail connectivity.

Here in Liverpool, we continue to develop our rail infrastructure in order to assist customers and shipping lines alike in overcoming the present driver shortage. Liverpool now boasts regular services to Mossend, East Midlands Gateway, Lawley Street and will also soon add a further connection to Hams Hall increasing Liverpool connectivity by rail to critical points in the hinterland.

I am thrilled to be back out meeting old and new customers at Multimodal this year, sharing case studies and discussing ways to thinking and doing different.

Come and meet Simon on the Peel Ports Group stand 9024 at Multimodal, NEC Birmingham from 19 – 21 October.
