🎉 Celebrating 5 Years with Vic Faulkner at X2 (UK) 🎉
This week, we're thrilled to acknowledge the 5-year work anniversary of Vic Faulkner and his impactful journey as our Operations Director at X2 (UK). Vic's relationship with us dates back even further, initially serving as Operations Manager from 2008 to 2012 and having worked closely with our Managing Director, Ian Cramb FCILT, for over 25 years.
After a brief hiatus up North, Vic's return in 2019 has been nothing short of transformative.
Ian Cramb had this to say about Vic: “Bringing Vic back into the X2 (UK) business was a fundamentally important part of our strategic plan to invest in people, processes, controls, and systems to turn what was a good business, into a great business. This has been achieved at all levels, despite the economic challenges that none of us could have predicted. Not only have we doubled in size since Vic joined, but we also have a tremendous platform to take advantage of the significant uplift in customers looking for our services in 2024. Vic is a consummate transport professional with a wealth of knowledge and diverse experience, but he is also great to work with and has a wicked sense of humour, which often is very welcome in a high-pressured transport environment!”
Under Vic's leadership, we've navigated through unprecedented challenges, including Brexit, the global pandemic, and industry-wide driver shortages. Through it all, Vic's strategic foresight and unwavering commitment has been instrumental in X2 (UK) seeing steady growth, doubling our revenue over the last 5 years.
When asked about his last five years, Vic said “It has been a challenging 5 years, especially with the impact of Brexit, COVID and the associated difficulties within the supply chain. Initially there was a downturn in activity, but our business model meant we could quickly adapt to the ever-changing environment. With the drive and commitment from the team, we have steered through these difficult times and have seen significant growth of the business.”
As we celebrate this milestone, we extend our deepest gratitude to Vic for his dedication and leadership. Here's to many more years of success together at X2 (UK)!
