What do our people think of Gist?

Head of Transport Solutions – Consulting Services
Basingstoke
I joined Gist in 1997 on the Graduate Trainee Programme, initially managing the day to day operation of a new contract, before going on to project and implementation roles.
Having then gained experience in transport operations I became a Consultant in Gist’s head office and now manage the Transport Offer in Consulting Services.
As a Consultant, I design and deliver supply chain solutions for Gist’s internal and external customers. The work is challenging, and always varied and rewarding.

Chief Executive Officer
Basingstoke
I was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Gist in 1998 after joining the company's Graduate Trainee Programme in 1986 and moved through a variety of roles within the business over the next 12 years. Gist has provided me with excellent grounding in every aspect of the business. I have worked towards underpinning the business with strong core values and a strong strategic approach. My goal for Gist is not complicated; my goal is to keep it at the forefront of logistics innovation.

Transport clerk
Cumbernauld
Since joining Gist in 1982, I have had a number of career changes – starting in administration, then moving to a role in finance and I now work in the transport department. I enjoy being involved in the union here and, on a more personal note, was lucky enough to meet my husband here at work!
