Fractional Logistics Executive

I fix transport businesses.

Thirty years fixing them as a Managing Director — Unitrans, DHL, Imperial, SABOT. Now fractional: the executive thinking, without the headcount. Across the SADC corridors.

Who I work with

Three kinds of people call me.

01
Owner-run fleets & operators

Where nobody senior owns transport, or margins are slipping and the losses are hiding.

02
BEE operators with a Tier 1 contract, no capital

The award is real. I build the funded, operational business behind it — to DFI standard.

03
Funders & OEMs

Who need to know the deal can carry the trucks. I structure it so the diligence is largely done.

The right time to call is before the crisis.

Under margin pressure, holding a contract you can't yet fund, or weighing a deal that has to carry the trucks — the starting point is a straight conversation.
