Global expansion To set itself apart in this dymanic industry requires not just a world class service and accompanying supply chain strategy , but the right personnel too and this is something that World Duty Free Group has been very focused on over the years .
The ability to work , think and act globally is a very specific skill that is required to ensure that the same best practices are experienced across all operating continents , where , theoretically , a local supply chain manager could be moved from Helsinki to Vancouver and implement the same strategy and model from the outset .
In turn , this core consistency and high standard of expertise will make the inevitable future expansion all the more viable and successful .
