Steve Gaiger
Operations Director
About me: Originally from New Zealand and travelled to the UK for a look around and just never went home! That was 15 years ago! I have experienced logistics in many forms on both sides of the world and now feel very privileged to work in our own company where we are passionate about bringing solutions and services where we feel there is a difference to be made.
Love Sushi and a Teppanyaki meal, something about the theatre of it all, slightly rugby mad as you would expect and the place I would most want to return to is Croatia.
Travelling around Australia for 6 weeks in a VW Combi van is still one of the coolest things I have done and now with 2 pre-school children, probably the most intrepid I will do for a while! Still I am living on the other side of the world which I still find cool and the experience that keeps on giving!
Simon Perkins
Commercial Director
About me: I feel like I have worked in the parcel logistics industry forever. I've even got a degree in it! I think I've been faced with just about every single kind of challenge that you can face in the parcel logistics industry.
It's the 'parcel life' experience that I bring to SAMOS. Acutely understanding the industry, the challenges that it brings and turning this in to a service the most fastidious of customers can delight in.
Apart from shipping cardboard around the world, I'm a keen runner, cyclist (MAMIL!) and triathlete. Even managed to complete the London Marathon in 2:52:18 a couple of years ago, although don't ask me how. You'll find me regularly volunteering at my local Horsham parkrun (as well as taking part), and they even occasionally trust me with the megaphone as Run Director!
Top travel destinations: Australia, Formentera and Jordan (the country!)
Favourite food: Avocado
Favourite colour: Orange
Most desirable car: Classic VW Camper (in orange obvs!)
Always happy to talk opportunity. Drop me an email at simon@samos-e.com
