Who We Are

Founded in 2011, Global 78 is an independent practice that provides research services and specialist advice for companies across extended supply chains. It operates with a multi-disciplinary team of accredited associates. Projects discovering new perspectives on aspects such as responsible sourcing, security of supply, true cost-efficiency, and enhanced value enable its clients to develop their policy, strategy or operations for real bottom line improvement.

Based in the United Kingdom, its professional team has an important international dimension; with some members located in Brazil and the United States. This contributes significantly to an ability to comprehend diverse cultures and working practices; to remain objective when analysing ‘on-the-ground’ situations that reflect operational reality; as well as to understand, map and analyse global process flows of materials and information.

Global 78’s team members draw on extensive commercial and industrial experience. Because of this strength, its client base includes organisations such as Carrier Corporation, DP World, Sainsbury’s Supermarkets, and UK government. The practice has an ethos of working closely with clients to deliver high-quality results and therefore has a notable track record of securing repeat business.

The practice enjoys technical or media support from its key partners: Campden BRI (food and drink innovation), the Fresh Produce Journal (media), and the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (UK). Other important relationships are with the British Ports Association, the Cold Chain Federation, and leading academic institutions such as the University of Nottingham (School of Economics and School of Biosciences).

Keen to encourage new talent, Global 78’s founder director Andrew Morgan provides insights on global food supply systems to sixth-form economics students at the Cheltenham Ladies’ College.

With its combination of in-depth experience and broad geographical reach, Global 78 is ideally placed to bring practical, sound, tangible benefits to its clients’ operations. Its ethos of close collaboration, along with its focus on discovering new perspectives for value chain improvement, enable it to support the business needs of its clients.
