Building a Market-Leading 24/7 Critical Logistics Business.
Transforming V-One into a high-growth European leader in premium freight solutions
V-One was a specialist time-critical logistics provider serving industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing with urgent delivery solutions across Europe.
Today, it is part of Flash Europe, a global premium freight leader.
Our goal:
To build a scalable, technology-driven critical logistics company that delivered exceptional service, operational transparency, and trusted partnerships — 24/7.
The Opportunity.
When V-One was founded, the European time-critical logistics market was highly fragmented:
Many providers relied on manual, outdated processes.
Service levels were inconsistent, especially for large, multinational clients.
Tracking and visibility were limited or non-existent.
Automotive and aerospace companies were seeking more agile supply chain partners.
We saw an opportunity to build a trusted, 24/7 logistics partner — combining advanced software, operational excellence, and client-centric service.
The Solution
I led the launch and multi year growth of V-One through a strategy focused on innovation, quality, and client value:
-
Built a 24/7 critical logistics business with pan-European reach
-
Drove revenue growth to £6.75M in five years
-
Secured long-term contracts with major clients including Land Rover, BMW, and Tier 1 suppliers

-
Achieved BSI ISO 9001-2000 accreditation to ensure consistent service quality
