Global Accounts Managing Director Thiemo van Spellen sits back to share his vision for the logistics industry that stands at pivotal crossroads in a connected yet uncertain world. The choices businesses make today—particularly in selecting delivery partners—shape not only the efficiency of operations but the whole e-shopper experience, from discovery to delivery. Moreover, today’s consumers, especially younger generations, demand more than just delivery – they expect seamless, personalised experiences that align with their dynamic lives. Thiemo sees these choices and challenges as opportunities to inspire progress, confirming: “We don’t only deliver parcels; we bring potential to forge partnerships that spark energy and pioneer solutions that unlock the future.”  

As Director of IT and Innovation at DPD UK, Chris Meir is used to navigating the constantly evolving world of emerging digital tools and technology. He recently shared his experience with the current state of autonomous delivery solutions as well as his insights on the challenges and advantages we can expect as we advance towards the future of delivery.
