DELIVERING OUTSTANDING BUSINESS LED GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN CAPABILITIES

The Academy

Today’s business is increasingly driven by the performance of its supply chain.

Supply chains are rarely aligned to support the business strategy. Functional teams often have competing priorities, of supply and demand. The result can be lost sales, write-downs and discounts, the additional cost to ship and warehouse excess inventory and obsolete stock.

The Supply Chain Academy provides innovative learning experiences for CEOs & Executives to explore and overcome these issues. It provides an environment for executives to come together, to develop ideas and to plan exciting futures. We are different because our focus is not only on formal training, but also on thought leadership – learning from the experience of your peers and sharing best practice.

Capability-focused roundtable discussions

Giving people AI access isn't a skills strategy, so what is?

  • Is what you're calling a skills strategy actually just tool access with a label on it?
  • Who needs to change how they work for a capability investment to land, and have you tested whether they're ready to?
  • When the honest answer is dozens of possible AI opportunities, do you retrain the people who already know the business, or hire people who already think digitally?
  • Where have citizen-led or low-code wins stalled once the easy part was done?

Alex Mortimer
,
 
Commercial Director

I help supply chain, logistics, and business leaders unlock better performance through smarter strategies, education, and innovation.

With 25 years of experience in business development, operations, and senior management, I lead global business development at the Supply Chain Academy (part of GB Global & Uniserve Group — the UK’s largest logistics & global trade provider), managing a team of specialists and resellers while building strategic partnerships with businesses and academic institutions worldwide.

Alongside this, I am the CEO & Founder of Safe Chain, a specialist supply chain and cybersecurity consultancy, simplifying cyber language in supply chain speak, helping organisations strengthen resilience against disruption and cyber threats.

My mission is to equip supply chain professionals at every level with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to deliver smarter, faster, and more resilient supply chains.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with some of the world’s biggest names — including AstraZeneca, Airbus, BAE Systems, Duracell, and PepsiCo — helping organisations grow through supply chain consultancy, cybersecurity solutions, executive education, and professional qualifications.

✅ Top 50 Supply Chain Thought Leader (thinkers360, Scurri)
✅ Top 25 Supply Chain Influencer (SAP Centric USA)
✅ British Citizen Award (2022) for services to the UK supply chain during Covid-19

I’m passionate about sharing practical supply chain insights and regularly speak at universities, conferences, and even to the US Military, advising on supply chain and cybersecurity career pathways for transitioning service members.

I also serve as a non-executive board member at the University of West London and lecture at the University of Bedfordshire.

Let’s connect if you’re looking to improve supply chain resilience, cybersecurity, or professional capability.
