SCALA aims for significant growth with senior hire

SCALA, a leading provider of management services for the supply chain and logistics sector, has appointed a new senior consultant to bolster its ambitious expansion plans.

Paul Bebbington has over 27 years’ of experience in supply chain and logistics management and will play a key role in helping SCALA to expand its services and drive the business forward.

Previously the head of European Distribution for Kelloggs, Paul oversaw the company’s distribution strategy across the whole of Europe and was responsible for managing teams and programmes across various departments, including cost and service improvement, logistics sourcing, 3PL contract management and network optimisation. During his time with Kelloggs, he also worked within the change management department and led the supply chain integration for Kellogg’s acquisition of Pringles.

Most recently, Paul spent around two years working with Sanofi, a bio-pharma manufacturing company, where he was responsible for developing and implementing a change management program across a portfolio of initiatives, including an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation, and lean and integrated business planning programmes.

Paul has an MBA from Manchester Business school, where he is also studying for a doctorate and is researching digital technologies and supply chain.

Paul Bebbington said: “Having spent a large proportion of my career within the supply chain and logistics sector, the move to SCALA seemed like the perfect fit. The company strives to be at the forefront of industry best practice, and offers expert insight and knowledge to help clients innovate and meet the evolving challenges of supply chain management.

“I’m looking forward to using my experience and skills to support our clients so that they can deliver tangible value and benefits in their supply chain and logistics operations.”

John Perry, managing director of SCALA, said: “We are delighted to welcome Paul to the SCALA team. His experience and contributions to some of the largest brands in the world encapsulate the high level of talent that we look for at SCALA, as well as highlight our expertise and capabilities. With so much currently changing within the world of supply chain, we’re confident that Paul can help our clients to address the vitally important challenges that the industry faces.

“Since SCALA was founded in 2001, we have achieved an excellent industry reputation for providing high quality supply chain and logistics expertise. We are now expanding and enhancing our team at board level and senior consultant level to extend our supply chain services. 2018 looks set to be a very successful year for us.”
