Scott joined TransCold in July 2020 as an Outside Sales Representative in Nanaimo. In just 2.5 years, Scott has been promoted twice, once to Operations Supervisor in October 2020 and to his current Vancouver Island Operations Manager role in January of this year. Because of his background in multiple disciplines, Scott has an exceptional understanding of both customers’ and co-workers’ needs.
In the past year, Scott has led the development of training tools for new drivers in Canada, piloted a 4-day winter workweek program, reduced vehicle idling on local deliveries to decrease fuel consumption, and advocated for warehousing changes that decreased local fulfillment by 24 hours. Scott’s customer-first attitude is infectious and has resulted in significant improvements for our Vancouver Island operations.
Congratulations, Scott!
