Freight in the City

Ian Wainwright

Head of Freight & Fleet Programmes, Transport for London

Having a degree in Town Planning, Ian worked for 18 years in the logistics industry, on a range of third-party contracts. Experiences from supply chain reorganisation, depot start-ups and closures, and Trade Union negotiation have given him a valuable insight into the issues, complexities and costs faced by logistics companies and their customers. Ian has now spent 10 years working for Transport for London, most recently responsible for managing the programme to encourage operators and businesses to revise their delivery activity during the 2012 Games. He is head of the Freight and Fleet Team managing the programme to maximise the safety of freight activity and build on the lessons from the Games, such as retiming deliveries.
