SUPPLY chain and value chain management consultancy Middlebank Consulting Group, has announced the appointment of Mark Hopkins as an associate.
According to Middlebank, Mr Hopkins brings more than 25 years of experience in supply chain roles across retail, distribution and biotechnology environments.
He has worked across areas such as inventory optimisation, supply chain planning, and multi-country visibility.
Most recently, Mr Hopkins was vice president for Global Accounts at Netstock, a provider of inventory management and demand planning software used by more than 2400 organisations globally.
He worked closely with companies on the application of forecasting and planning processes.
A significant part of his work involved ongoing engagement with clients on system usage and adoption, along with a webinar series focused on recurring supply chain challenges.
His experience is said to include improving forecasting in multi-location retail and distribution networks, including work on product level imbalances such as broken size ranges, expanding supply chain visibility for an international distributor from one country to nineteen countries, and supporting product planning in biotechnology environments where supply constraints are a constant factor.
The company says that Mr Hopkins will focus on supply chain planning, inventory optimisation, and visibility, working with organisations to improve performance through changes that can be sustained in day-to-day operations.
“I am pleased to be joining Middlebank Consulting Group,” Mr Hopkins said.
“Much of my career has focused on how planning actually works in practice, and I look forward to continuing that work with clients, strengthening the link between data, planning decisions, and execution.”
Middlebank founder and chief executive Alan Win said Mark brought “strong technical planning expertise alongside practical operational experience”.
“That balance is increasingly important as organisations look to get more value from the planning systems and data they already have in place,” Mr Win said.
