Latrell Robinson| Warehouse Supervisor | GLC Distribution

Latrell joined GLC in September 2021 as a warehouse supervisor. He has previous experience in warehousing, sales, and marketing. His combined experiences in each field have helped him learn and grow.  What he loves about being part of GLC is the multiple learning opportunities from others and being challenged to be better every day. “I have been able to build relationships one on 1 with clients and peers, allowing me to soak up as much information as possible, be the best at what I do here, and grow the warehouse more and more each day with the entire team,” he said. Latrell sees a very bright future with GLC. In the coming years, he wants to keep learning more about freight forwarding and the logistics services GLC offers to find innovative ways to progress as the world changes, bringing more significant ideas and better opportunities for improvement and growth. 

This recognition means everything to him. He feels very blessed to have been given this opportunity at GLC to become a part of a family that genuinely cares for people and accepts them regardless of their flaws or experience. He says that he has been given a chance to show how much he wants this and to own it. Being the Q1 employee of the quarter of 2022 shows him that all his hard work, dedication, and long nights of thinking, planning, and executing have paid off. He is very proud of how far he has come, and he looks forward to the places GLC may take him in the future.
