I am Simon Smith the Chairman of RCS Logistics. I helped my father, Ray Smith, set up RCS Logistics and have been involved with the business since he died in 2001.

I joined the RCS team in December 2006, bringing 18 years of commercial experience gained working for Barclays Bank & Hanson PLC.

I strongly believe in providing the customer with a quality service supported by an honest and open approach to business and I believe there are two key ingredients to a successful company, dedicated employees and good customers, luckily here at RCS we have both.

When not being faced with the daily challenges of the Logistics Industry, I'm usually spotted on the course concentrating on lowering my golf handicap.

I have been with RCS Logistics since November 1997 and have worked my way up through the company, joining as a Traffic Planner then Transport Manager and now Operations Director. This role is responsible for the smooth running of both the transport and warehouse operations ensuring that all customer orders are despatched and delivered on time whilst at the same time ensuring that we comply with the current legislation.

On a personal front I enjoy relaxing with my family and watching the mighty Carlisle United.

I joined the business as Company Accountant in 2001, and I have not looked back.

As well as being a successful logistics operator with a sound reputation it is also a great place to work. The attentiveness to customers' needs and the team spirit are first class. The industry tends to bring its challenges, however I feel confident in my Board colleagues and all of our staff and employees that RCS Logistics are always be on hand to "deliver the goods".

In my spare time I am an amateur radio broadcaster and I help to run a community radio station here in Corby.
