Transport management system specialist, Fargo Systems, is delighted to announce that projects team manager, Jim Slade, has been selected as one of Multimodal’s prestigious 30 under 30 winners.

Jim, who is based in Fargo’s Ipswich office, says of his nomination: “Having recovered from my initial shock, it’s great to be recognised alongside so many of my peers, especially at a time when there are so many uncertainties in the industry.
