Earlier this year Francois Smith, Logistics Manager at Sequence Logistics in Hammersdale, won the prestigious Tony Lewis Cold Store Operator Award and got to compete for the Next Gen Award at the 2017 IARW-WFLO Convention held in Dana Point, California.

The presentations on automated warehouses, crane bulk picking, and distribution were of particular interest. “What caught my imagination was the online shopping and it was said that the next step would be the home delivery of household groceries by drone,” he says.
