While I was at Dyson Canada, Ross managed our 3pl distribution during which time Dyson experienced significant and sustained growth each year
To keep up with our growth, Ross had to modify and develop strategies to deal with our ever changing requirements. Whether it was new product launches, end of month rushes, Black Friday, Boxing Week or peak season, Ross always made sure we were able to hit out sales targets without fail.
