Glenn J Bradley

Supply Chain Manager Materials Processing, Terex Corporation

I am a motivated, flexible and tenacious logistician with a proven record of success built over 37 years of working life in the public & private sectors of International industry operating at Director or Senior Management role level.

A Chartered member of the Institute of Directors (Ireland); the Institute of Export & International Trade (UK); the Institute of Freight Professionals (UK) & Institute of Purchasing & Supply with decades of experience I passionately believe that business achievement comes from thoughtful discussions with fellow directors / staff, customers and prospects. I believe that if we stop engaging, we lose commercially.

I role model on being ‘a servant leader’ where my sole care is about serving stake holders in a constructive and positive manner: I ensure all share in my sense of mission which fuels the day to day business activity to successful delivery. Enriching stakeholders I spend time focused on building and creating value to generate a lasting significance.
