ASC appoints new key account manager

Bradford-headquartered logistics provider Advanced Supply Chain (ASC), part of Reconomy, has appointed Jacqui Reed as key account manager to support customer growth across the UK and Europe.

Jacqui has relocated from New Zealand to London and will work with ASC clients to optimise supply chains, leveraging the company’s UK and European facilities. 

She will also collaborate with Reconomy’s network of circularity specialists.

Previously with DHL Supply Chain in New Zealand, Jacqui has experience in operations and account management, working across FMCG, technology and pharmaceuticals. 

She also played a key role in implementing New Zealand’s first Locus Robotics operation.

Jacqui said: “I was really impressed by ASC’s customer-focussed approach. 

“They have the ability to flex and scale bespoke services to ensure they put customers’ goals at the heart of what they do. 

“This is backed-up by an extensive network of facilities, services, experience and expertise, which I’m proud and excited to become part of. 

“I’m looking forward to meeting with customers to learn more about their ambitions and how their supply chains operate across the UK, Europe and internationally. 

“I relocated to London to support professional and personal goals to travel and it’s amazing to have a career opportunity that supports this.”

ASC, part of Reconomy’s Re-use loop, specialises in omnichannel returns management and logistics. 

In 2024, it launched Retail Ready, a pre-retail logistics solution designed to help retailers streamline operations and reduce waste.

Andrew Hill, commercial director at ASC, added: “Jacqui has a proven track record of working closely with leading businesses to enhance supply chain accuracy and productivity. 

“This fits perfectly with our continued investment in operating centres and value-added services such as Retail Ready, which enable customers to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of how they get goods to market on time.   

“More than ever, we’re seeing retailers take a strategic view of supply chain operations, with this motivated by goals to be more circular, leaner and quicker. 

“Our team of key account managers are crucial to helping retailers to achieve these goals by matching them with bespoke and innovative solutions from across ASC and Reconomy.”
