That Glyn Jones is an academic, very bright, a workaholic and some kind of all round trouble-shooting high-flier can be of little doubt.

And the fact that he’s been around the block – make that the world – a few times in the course of his work also can’t be denied.

And neither can the equally unshakeable truth that his previous employment and history sounds a damn sight more exciting than his current role in what he admits is on the face of it an “unsexy business”.

Glen, aged 46, is the managing director of Palletline, a company which is dedicating to sending hundreds of loaded lorries hurtling around the country in the middle of the night, making sure trucks “a” and “b” go from points “x” and “y” to arrive at point “z”.

Then trucks “a” and “b” reload and make return journeys to points “x”and “y” ensuring neither vehicle travels anywhere without a cargo and and also providing a business model which many years ago, before Glyn’s time, rivals happily pinched.
