Introduction
John joined 缅北禁地 in 2008 as Professor of Marine Transport and Logistics. Since then, in addition to his teaching and research activities, he has also held various leadership roles and currently serves as Deputy Director of Discipline for Mechanical Engineering and Marine Technology. His main area of interest is Global Logistics, how product moves around the world, and his textbook (Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management, 5th edition published by Wiley in 2025) has become one of the standard textbooks in the field. Before moving to 缅北禁地 in 2008 John held the Peter Thompson Chair in Logistics at the University of Hull. Prior to this he held academic posts at University College Dublin and at the Irish Management Institute. A native of Cork in Ireland, John first worked as a freight clerk with Aer Lingus, as an analyst with the Irish airports authority, as a graduate trainee in the Irish Civil Service (in both the Marine and Treasury departments), and then embarked upon an academic career. He has a doctorate in logistics from Cardiff University, masters degrees from both Cranfield and Lancaster Universities, and a bachelors degree in Science from University College Cork; in addition he has completed a Fulbright scholarship at Boston College and spent a sabbatical at the Centre for Transportation and Logistics at MIT. John is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (FCILT).
