Phil Rees is a Global Supply Chain Expert and a highly respected logistics and supply chain professional with over two decades of experience. Phil has a particular specialism in business development and strategy in cross-border mailing and parcel distribution. Phil has dedicated his career to helping businesses optimise their supply-chain operations by strategically navigating the complexities of global trade, throughout the era of 'online digitisation' that has transformed the supply-chain and led to the e-commerce boom.
Throughout his career Phil has successfully executed dozens of seven and eight figure contracts that have saved his clients tens of millions of pounds on their distribution costs.
His guidance in e-commerce and logistics has garnered him acclaim from clients and colleagues alike, who credit large parts of their success and growth in cross-border trade initiatives to his visionary leadership and keen understanding of the industry.
In October 2023 Phil decided it was time to leverage his knowledge, contacts, and experience by starting SHIPMAX with the aim of becoming a thought-leader and go-to supply-chain consultancy provider.
Phil believes that his expertise can unlock hidden value from the supply chains of businesses of all shapes and sizes, complementing existing teams by bringing expertise to these high-cost areas.
