Aujourd'hui dans "Les voix de l'économie", Stéphane Pedrazzi s'entretient avec Youssef Tagemouati, le directeur général de GLS France, qui vient de reprendre le réseau des 7500 points relais Relais Colis. Cette opération stratégique permettra à GLS de s'imposer comme un acteur majeur de la livraison du dernier kilomètre en France.L'invité revient tout d'abord sur l'histoire de Relais Colis, une marque française emblématique qui a révolutionné le concept de livraison en points relais il y a près de 40 ans. Malgré sa notoriété auprès du grand public, l'entreprise traversait des difficultés et a dû être placée en redressement judiciaire. C'est dans ce contexte que GLS, l'un des principaux acteurs européens de la livraison, a décidé de reprendre les rênes de ce réseau stratégique.Au-delà du rachat de la marque, l'enjeu pour GLS est de devenir propriétaire de ce maillage de 7500 points relais répartis sur tout le territoire français. Une acquisition décisive, alors que les livraisons hors domicile représentent déjà 40% à 45% du marché français et devraient atteindre 50% d'ici 2030 à l'échelle européenne. Grâce à cette intégration verticale, GLS pourra désormais maîtriser l'ensemble de la chaîne de valeur, de la collecte à la livraison, et ainsi proposer une expérience client plus fluide et réactive.Youssef Tagemouati souligne également les défis de la satisfaction client dans un secteur très concurrentiel, où la qualité de service est un enjeu majeur. Avec cette reprise, GLS pourra s'appuyer sur les outils d'expérience client développés par la start-up TousFactors, récemment acquise par le groupe. Une façon de renforcer la visibilité et la réactivité face aux attentes des consommateurs, tout en améliorant la gestion des retours.Enfin, l'épisode aborde la question cruciale de la transition écologique dans le secteur de la livraison. GLS s'est fixé pour objectif d'électrifier 25% de sa flotte de livreurs dès cette année, en accompagnant ses partenaires sous-traitants dans cette démarche. Un engagement fort pour réduire l'empreinte carbone d'une activité fortement consommatrice en énergie.Cet entretien offre un éclairage unique sur les enjeux stratégiques, opérationnels et environnementaux qui façonnent l'avenir de la livraison du dernier kilomètre en France.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Pakkevirksomheden GLS benytter chauffører, der trækker tråde til sager om fiktive fakturaer, skattesnyd og konkurskarantæner. GLS tjener årligt trecifrede millionbeløb på at omdele pakker i Danmark, men omdelingen af pakkerne sker ved at lade selvstændige vognmænd stå for omdelingen, og det er gennem det netværk af selvstændige vognmænd, at Finans´ hold af undersøgende journalister har dokumenteret de mange tråde til blandt andet skattesnyd og fiktive fakturaer. Hør hvordan det foregår i denne Lyn-analyse, og hvad GLS siger, dokumentationen. Gæst: Jesper Kroer Høberg, chef for Finans´ undersøgende journalistik, Finans. Vært: Mads Ring. Foto: GLS/PR.

La crise au Moyen-Orient et la fermeture du détroit d'Ormuz ont de gros impacts sur le commerce mondial. La Sierra Leone ne fait pas exception. Freetown cherche à développer l'agro-industrie afin d'être moins dépendant des importations, mais ce nouveau choc vient affecter ses entreprises et industries. Avec notre envoyée spéciale à Freetown, Mohamed Sowe est à la tête de Jolaks, une entreprise qui raffine l'huile de palme pour la consommation. Elle produit également du savon. Lorsque l'on demande à Mohamed Sowe s'il est touché par la crise au Moyen-Orient, il ne dit pas un mot et se frappe le front. Car ici, le prix de la matière première pour fabriquer les bidons augmente, les coûts de logistique aussi, mais le principal problème vient des générateurs qui font tourner l'usine. « Le coût du diesel a augmenté de près de 70%. Il s'agit d'une très forte hausse, mais nous n'avons pas augmenté nos prix d'autant. Nous devons en absorber la majeure partie. Nous espérons que cela ne va pas durer sur le long terme, que l'incertitude globale va décroître et que les prix se normaliseront très bientôt », explique Mohamed Sowe. Un camion de Global Logistics Services (GLS) est venu faire une livraison de parfum pour la savonnerie de Jolaks ce jour-là. « L'un de nos principaux coûts est celui du carburant pour nos camions », pointe Max Kanu, le patron à la tête de cette entreprise spécialiste de la logistique. De l'importation par cargo à la livraison finale, GLS est très touchée par les retards d'expédition. « Cela échappe à notre contrôle. Nous essayons juste de gérer les effets », reconnaît-il. Des retards à la fois pour la livraison de ses clients, mais qui touchent également ses propres activités. « Personnellement, nous investissons dans un parc logistique. Nous construisons des entrepôts pour nos clients. Nous avons environ 20 conteneurs en provenance d'Inde qui ont déjà été retardés d'environ cinq semaines. Cela a un impact considérable, car ces retards affectent nos engagements envers les clients. Cela impacte le travail de construction que nous faisons avec les entrepreneurs, cela affecte notre planification, etc. », détaille-t-il. Une augmentation des prix que tentent de juguler les autorités. Alpha Ibrahim Sesay, le ministre de l'Industrie de Sierra Leone, cherche des solutions : « Depuis le début de la guerre, l'inflation a augmenté ainsi que les prix de nombreux produits de base. Cela nous affecte fortement. Mais en tant que gouvernement, nous sommes très proactifs. Nous avons commencé à subventionner les produits pétroliers parce que nous ne pouvons pas vendre aux prix actuels à la pompe. Le gouvernement doit subventionner pour réduire les souffrances qui en découlent. » Les autorités réévaluent actuellement leurs budgets et échangent avec leurs partenaires financiers pour financer ces subventions.

Send us Fan MailKen the Kidd and GLS are back! This week they're joined by barber Jay Fades for a packed episode. The guys kick things off with "What's Bothering You"-and everybody has something to say. Then they get into the act of tipping, hot sports topics, and some classic barbershop stories you don't want to miss. Pull up and enjoy the cut.
Brendan! joins The Boys for this Masters cleanup episode before jetting over to meet Andy in Scotland. Joseph immediately begins with some comments regarding his drive back to Atlanta alongside Brendan that featured 90s hip-hop and a spilled coffee in the precious GLS. From there, the trio wonder if Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler should just be the prohibitive Masters favorites for the next three or four years given their 1-2 finish this week without their "A games." There's also some debate about whether Rory has surpassed Phil Mickelson in the all-time rankings of golf. PJ and Joseph watched the final round back on TV and shared some thoughts on Russell Henley, Collin Morikawa, and Xander Schauffele that they didn't pick up on the ground on Sunday. The two also weigh in on the discourse surrounding the CBS broadcast, which was amplified even more by Kevin Kisner's comments making the rounds on X early Tuesday morning. Brendan then shifts the attention to the Schedule for the Week, beginning with a Signature Event at the RBC Heritage. Brendan openly states that there shouldn't be golf this week and sees the Heritage as a legacy event that will surely be impacted by the PGA Tour's ever-changing schedule and stance on wanting a piece of the monetary pie from the majors. He shares whispers from under the big tree at Augusta about these conversations and how big Tour sponsors may allocate their funds moving forward. With Andy out, PJ steps in and provides 5 Guys to Monitor This Week in Hilton Head, including one with an "unfair advantage" much like Rory allegedly had at ANGC. Joseph, PJ, and Brendan all make One-and-Done picks as Golf's Premier Gambling Podcast looks to stay hot after hitting a winner at the Masters. The "Event of the Year" is next on the schedule rundown with the Senior PGA Championship's move to April. PJ shares some important tee times and notable storylines for this year's event at The Concession, featuring the big debut of Rory (Sabbatini)! LIV Mexico City and the JM Eagle LA Championship are also previewed before moving on to the biggest news of the week so far: the installation of a pool on the 18th hole at Memorial Park. Brendan can't believe that the Chevron Championship is making its golf tournament all about a jump into some water and a friend of Joseph's was kind enough to provide photos of this small four-foot-deep pool next to the 18th green!

In deze aflevering van de Autoblog Podcast duiken Nico en Wouter weer in het heetste autonieuws van de week. Nico overweegt zijn BMW Z4 uit de stalling te halen nu er weer wat financiële ruimte is, terwijl Wouter rondrijdt in een nieuwe politieauto. Vervolgens bespreken ze de stijgende brandstofprijzen en opvallende maatregelen in Europa, zoals hogere dieselprijzen voor buitenlanders in Slovenië en tanklimieten. Moeten wij dat ook invoeren? Mercedes komt langs met updates voor de GLE en GLS, variërend van efficiënte diesels tot brute AMG-modellen. Ondertussen is het kommer en kwel bij Maserati: nul verkochte auto’s afgelopen jaar. Tesla daarentegen domineert de Nederlandse markt met de Model Y en Model 3 als bestsellers. Ook komt de controversiële pseudo-eindheffing voorbij, waarbij werkgevers extra belasting moeten betalen op brandstofauto’s. De sector vreest grote gevolgen, maar er wordt nog gezocht naar alternatieven. Goed nieuws is er ook: de youngtimerregeling blijft bestaan. In het korte nieuws: een scherp geprijsde Audi RS5, een vernieuwde Volkswagen ID.4 en opvallende trends zoals de populariteit van elektrische occasions en brommobielen. In de Formule 1 gaan geruchten rond over een mogelijke exit van Max Verstappen, terwijl Red Bull mogelijk achterloopt. Tot slot bespreken ze bijzondere occasions, zoals de Ferrari 308 GTS uit Magnum P.I. en een Honda S2000 met een halve miljoen kilometers. Een aflevering vol inzichten, humor en autoliefde!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send a textIn Episode 44 of Break The Ice Podcast, Ken “The Kidd” and GLS talk about the recent snowstorm and the people who love to complain about it online — even though they'd still be shoveling if they went away for a week and came back.The guys debate whether skiing is actually fun or just an excuse to freeze on top of a mountain, break down why sitting in a waiting room with someone is one of the most awkward social situations ever, and discuss how St. Patrick's Day has basically become an excuse for everyone — Irish or not — to act ridiculous for 24 hours.Plus, this week's edition of “What's Bothering You?”New episodes of Break The Ice Podcast drop bi-weekly on Thursdays at 5AM.

It's the 9th and final episode in the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River! This week, Katrina Batchelor, Associate Manager of Retail Operations for the South and West Regions, and Meagan Guzman, Associate Director of People Operations, reflect on Bradley Rapier's dynamic session at the Summit. Bradley Rapier—renowned choreographer, Emmy winner, and founder of the Groovaloos—brought incredible energy and inspiration through his “Groove Theory” and the concept of stepping into the circle. This powerful metaphor challenges leaders to embrace courage, vulnerability, and the boldness to use their voices. Katrina and Meagan share how Bradley's message personally resonated with them, sparking insights about stepping out of comfort zones, embracing mistakes as part of growth, and encouraging bravery within the Broad River Retail community. The conversation highlights: - Why courage and vulnerability are essential for leadership growth - How creating a supportive environment empowers Memory Makers to collaborate and share ideas - The importance of “mining for the gold” within each individual - Practical ways to overcome self-doubt and lead authentically This episode is a reminder that leadership is a continual journey—one where every Memory Maker has the opportunity to step into the circle, grow in confidence, and inspire others to do the same.

Welcome to the eighth episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River! This week, CEO Charlie Malouf is joined by Carl Hillesland, Director of Retail Performance at Broad River Retail, to reflect on Christine Caine's powerful session at the Summit. Christine Caine—author, speaker, and founder of the A21 anti-human trafficking campaign—shared her personal journey of discovering her life's purpose and the critical turning point that led her to confront the realities of human trafficking. In her talk, she warned leaders about the danger of drift—the subtle but steady loss of vision and purpose that happens when we simply do nothing. Charlie and Carl explore how Christine's stories, like discovering she was adopted and later encountering the vast scope of human trafficking, illustrate the need to stay anchored to a clear why. They unpack her vivid analogy of two beach umbrellas representing boundaries that prevent us from drifting and discuss how Memory Makers can apply these ideas in their own work and lives. The conversation highlights: - How to recognize and combat “drift” in leadership and life - The importance of boundaries, vision, and purpose to stay aligned - Practical ways Memory Makers are already using Christine's message to realign with their mission - Why leaders must intentionally Re-Anchor, Rebuild, and Reignite their passion to avoid languishing or losing focus This episode is a call to action for Memory Makers to be intentional lighthouses—staying grounded, shining with purpose, and helping others navigate life's currents toward meaningful impact.

Send us a textKen and GLS are back after the summer break with a hilarious catch-up. They dive into GLS's new nickname becoming a family tradition, Ken's trip to Saratoga with fans of the show, and a debate about voice notes ruining text conversations. The guys rip into Rhode Island's broken sports betting app (and Ken's news appearance about it), before getting sidetracked by the mysterious rise of the “green dildo” popping up at major sporting events. From WNBA to PGA to NFL, they can't stop laughing about how far it's spread. Then it's on to tech rants, with GLS going off on Apple's “same old iPhone” problem and even making a bold Blackberry comeback prediction. Finally, the duo wrap up with their Week 2 NFL picks.
It's the seventh episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River, and CEO Charlie Malouf is joined again by Will Luke, Senior Director of Project Management, to dive into John C. Maxwell's session at the Summit. They reflect on Maxwell's legacy in leadership, his lifelong dedication to developing others, and the personal stories and frameworks that have shaped his teachings. John was presented with the Lifetime Leadership Legacy Award by Craig Groeschel at the Global Leadership Summit, and Craig referred to John Maxwell as the single greatest teacher and model of servant leadership in our lifetime. After their conversation, John taught on legacy and leadership. The conversation highlights Maxwell's influence not only on the world stage—including his founding of the nonprofit EQUIP to do transformative work with countries and then the nonprofit iLead to do transformational work with schools globally—but also within the Broad River Retail community, where his principles have become part of the company culture. Charlie and Will unpack Maxwell's three-part framework for leaving a legacy: - the Compass (having a destiny to fulfill) - the Clock (making meaningful contributions in the present) - and Companions (developing others to carry the impact forward). They share takeaways about the importance of intentionality in legacy-building, the wisdom of thinking long term, and how true significance comes from what you leave in people rather than just what you leave for them. Personal anecdotes about their own families and the practice of distilling their lives into a single meaningful sentence reinforce the episode's inspiring, relatable message: every Memory Maker has the chance to make a lasting difference by investing in others and living authentically.

In this sixth episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River, CEO Charlie Malouf is joined by Will Luke, Senior Director of Project Management, to recap insights from Dr. James Hewitt's Global Leadership Summit keynote on regenerative performance. Dr. Hewitt, a former world-class cyclist turned human performance scientist, shared his journey from relentless “go, go, go” living to understanding the necessity of pausing and reflecting, especially after surviving cancer. The discussion introduces the concept of “cognitive gears,” a metaphor for the varying levels of mental focus and energy: low (rest and simple tasks), middle (emails and meetings), and high (deep, priority-driven work). Most workers get caught in the “middle gear” — a cycle of distractions and meetings — which can lead to burnout and inefficiency. Charlie and Will explore Dr. Hewitt's practical strategies, like batching emails, rethinking meeting culture, leveraging AI for smarter workflows, and recognizing the value of rest and breaks, not just as luxuries, but as critical tools for sustainability and peak performance. They emphasize aligning work with one's natural circadian rhythms and highlight the power of quality sleep and strategic downtime for creativity and long-term effectiveness. The episode closes with a call for leaders to model regenerative practices, acknowledging that when Memory Makers are encouraged to replenish their mental and physical capacity, it has a ripple effect throughout the organization, boosting both wellbeing and performance.

The two deep dive into Nick Saban's interview with Paula Faris at the Global Leadership Summit. The episode kicks off with enthusiastic reflections on Broad River's recent Experts Soirée at STK Steakhouse and the Grand Reopening of the Columbia store, highlighting the importance of community, transformation, and celebrating success with fellow Memory Makers.

Welcome to the fourth episode of the 2025 Global Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River. Host Carl Hillesland, Director, Retail Performance, and guest Kellie Jones, Senior Manager, Retail Operations, dive into insights from Juliet Funt's talk on Leadership Precision and against gluttony at the Global Leadership Summit. The discussion centers around the dangers of leaders overloading themselves, likening the approach to a buffet where piling on more projects and initiatives gives the illusion of progress but ultimately spreads everyone too thin. Drawing from Funt's analogy of the "peanut butter spread too thin tears the bread," Carl and Kellie explore why leaders feel compelled to keep adding priorities, the impact this has on organizational effectiveness, and the challenge of letting go of good—but not necessarily great—ideas. The conversation moves to the alternative: adopting a reductive mindset that focuses on prioritization, improvement, and most importantly, reduction—stripping away nonessential work to sharpen focus and increase productivity. They share practical tools from Funt's talk, like the "Spin Launcher," a five-step process for cutting clutter and making space for what really matters. Both Carl and Kellie reflect on real-world examples within Broad River Retail, emphasizing how shrinking the pile of work gives Memory Makers more lift and allows for higher-value contributions. The episode wraps with concrete suggestions for Memory Makers and leaders alike to bring more efficiency, focus, and freedom into their daily work by learning the value of saying no and making strategic cuts.

It's the third episode of the 2025 Gobal Leadership Summit Recap Series on Stories from the River! In today's episode, CEO Charlie Malouf welcomes Meagan Guzman, the newly hired Associate Director of People Operations. Just two months into her journey at Broad River Retail, Meagan reflects on her cross-country move from San Diego, her early experiences at the company, and the energizing environment of the Global Leadership Summit. This conversation highlights the value of attending the Summit with fellow leaders from Broad River and other community members, emphasizing the power of collective learning and networking, including a memorable instance of connecting with a potential future Memory Maker. The heart of the episode centers on insights from the keynote by Thasunda Brown Duckett, CEO of TIAA. Charlie and Meagan delve into Duckett's inspiring rise from humble beginnings as a "first generation integration" leader to overseeing $1.6 trillion in assets. They discuss her powerful lessons about consistent excellence, gratitude for those behind the scenes, and her refreshingly honest take on work-life balance as a "diversified portfolio," where giving oneself grace is essential. Meagan relates personally to Duckett's advice, especially when navigating tough personal moments as a new leader. The episode also celebrates Duckett's mentorship style—her use of "coffee and tea" conversations to break down barriers, gather feedback from diverse groups, and uplift the next generation of leaders.

Welcome to a brand new series from Stories from the River featuring the 2025 Global Leadership Summit. 19 Memory Makers attended the Global Leadership Summit on August 7th and 8th from the local host site at The Park Expo and Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, where there was a big screen for all of the Memory Makers along with all attendees to virtually watch all of the speakers and videos from GLS 25. This GLS 25 recap series will highlight the experiences and takeaways from one speaker at a time. CEO Charlie Malouf introduces the series and sets the stage by expressing the importance of not just absorbing powerful leadership talks but deeply internalizing them and discussing how their messages can lead to real application in the company. The episode kicks off with a recap of the opening keynote message from Craig Groeschel, who emphasized that "great leadership is boring"—underscoring that consistency, faithfulness powered by keystone habits exercised over a long period of time are the key to lasting impact. This episode features return guests Carl Hillesland, Director of Retail Performance, and Mark Deulley, Manager of Retail Data, Strategy, and Platforms, who dive deeper into Groeschel's message by discussing how consistent, small actions and faithfulness over time are the true drivers of meaningful leadership and personal growth. They reflect on the idea that Memory Makers don't need to be flashy or possess exceptional charisma; rather, becoming a great leader is about finding and sticking to those keystone habits that spark positive change across all areas of life. Carl and Mark share personal insights on scheduling true priorities, the practical power of persistence, and how embracing the "boring" can actually bring balance, peace, and significant long-term results for both Memory Makers and the people they serve. The episode wraps up with encouragement to stay faithful, keep growing, and bring the heat every day—reminding listeners that the results everyone admires are built on the quiet, unseen disciplines their Memory Makers practice consistently.
