Talking Wise EP18. “Behind the business: Logistics is a team sport with Duncan Ruckledge”

What happens when you swap a structured corporate career as a Program Manager at BT for the fast-paced, high-stakes world of logistics?

In this episode, we sit down with Duncan Ruckledge, owner of Dunk Distribution, to get a look at what it really takes to launch and scale an Amazon Delivery Service Partner (DSP) business. Duncan tells some honest truths of the industry – from surviving 18-hour days and managing driver struggles, to the hard-learned lessons of expanding to a second depot without the right team in place.

If you’ve ever thought about getting into the DSP network or scaling a multi-contractor logistics operation, this episode is a masterclass in operational grit!
