Alex Lennane | publisher

“Without doubt Alex is the best writer and editor working in the air cargo business today, with insightful comment and a depth of look knowledge beyond her years.” Stan Wraight, President and CEO, SASI

Alex launched a blog for the air cargo industry in March 2011. It was very well-received, and a year later it became Logistic-News that you see today.

Alex is an experienced writer on aviation and logistics. After leaving The Guardian newspaper in 2002 she freelanced for many of the key logistics titles, including International Freighting Weekly, HeavyLiftPFI and Cargo Systems. She was editor of the quarterly magazine, Airline Cargo Management for eight years, and Europe editor for the Seattle-based subscription news service, Cargo Facts, for four years.

Gavin is also the author of the acclaimed book Around the World in Freighty Ways: Adventures in Globalisation.

Gavin has won numerous awards, and is the current Seahorse Awards' International Editor of the Year. Gavin specialises in sea freight, supply chain management and e-commerce logistics.

Mike Wackett FICS | sea freight correspondent

Mike Wackett joined Logistic-News after editing Containerisation International online for six years, writing a weekly opinion piece for Lloyd's Loading List, and latterly working as a senior correspondent on Lloyd's List.

Before a change of direction into journalism in 2007 Mike worked on 'the other side of the fence' as the managing director of a shortsea feeder line. In a 30+ year career he has been employed in various sectors of the shipping industry and held several commercial and operational senior management positions.

Mike is a qualified shipbroker and is a past chairman of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers' East Anglia branch.

Mike Weir | deputy head of Logistic-News Premium

Mike's byline has appeared in publications as diverse as The Oban Times and the Wall Street Journal. If the BBC did bylines, it would have appeared there too.

On the basis of having a truck driving licence, Mike was encouraged to become the editor of Lloyd's Loading List a few years ago. Like most of its editors, Mike departed quite quickly but has flirted with the logistics sector ever since. He enjoys writing punchy commentary on all of the key players in the supply chain.
