A CUP OF COFFEE WITH…
Richard Cawston, Managing Director, Supply Chain – Europe,
XPO Logistics.
We like to have inspiring discussions about cross-border e-commerce over a nice cup of coffee
(or tea). In this issue, we are talking about the payment market. Richard Cawston leads a team
of 30,000 across 14 countries and manages contract logistics operations. XPO Logistics is the
largest e-fulfilment provider in Europe, which means that the company works with some of
the largest brands in Europe, handling every step of the online order process. This includes
picking, packing, delivery and the handling of returns.
