FOREWORD W elcome to the July edition of Supply Chain Digital ! In our cover issue this month , we spoke with Chris Foord , Chief Logistics Officer at The Warehouse Group ( TWG ), who discussed the supply chain and logistics strategies driving the company ’ s development into a true omnichannel retailer .
“ Like many organisations , TWG has realised the competitive
advantage of supply chain , from sourcing and distribution through to the store and the customer ,” says Foord . “ Rather than simply being
a back-of-house transactional function ,
we are now seen as an efficient and effective supply chain that enables a competitive advantage in the wider organisation ’ s strategy .”
