Why Companies Really Hire Consultants
If your company has never hired a consultant before, it can be puzzling to understand what exactly a consultant does. This is especially if you already have skilled manpower to perform various tasks within an organization. If you are considering hiring a consultant or you just want to understand what they do, here is what consultants like Daniel George Latham, who is a logistics consultant can, do for your business.
Outside perspective
They will look at your business from a new angle. Being an insider, your perspective is most likely clouded and you may have reached a point where you can't identify your problem areas.
It might be easy for you to turn to friends and relatives and ask them for their opinion, but if they are not knowledgeable in your field, they cannot provide you with much advice and direction about what to do.
You need someone who is experienced and can give you direction. Someone who will help you develop the right thinking and identify problem areas that you might not even have identified.
Get extra manpower
You might have reached a stage in your business where you need extra manpower to deal with the challenges that you are facing. Since assigning new tasks to your regular employees will eat into their day to day tasks, you need to bring in an independent person from outside.
This will provide your employees with the space they need to work, while still ensuring that new tasks get tackled. This will ensure that the productivity of your company is maintained.
The consultant, such as George Latham, will serve as temporary employees in your company, until the challenge is overcome.
Get specialized skill set
If you hire a consultant like George Latham, you will get a specialized skill set that might not be available in-house. Since you might not have work for them all year round, you can just hire them for the specific periods of time that you need their services. This will help you keep your hiring costs down, while ensuring that you still get expert help whenever you need it.
Maintain neutrality
Making some changes in a company can be a hot zone. It can lead to various problems and hostility within the company. To maintain your neutrality, you can hire a consultant like Daniel George Latham, to do the negative work that you do not want to do.
For instance, introducing a new way of doing things is a sensitive subject, which might be resisted by most employees. If an outsider does this, then the hostility will be directed towards them instead of internally to one of the people in the organization.
So by introducing the consultant in the picture, you are introducing a safe zone for employees who would otherwise been under fire from their colleagues
Network
If you would like to network with industry leaders, then hiring a consultant who is an industry leader will give you an opportunity to work with other industry leaders. You can hire a consultant based on who they know and do business with.
Daniel Latham has it in him to overcome any kind of challenge
Every business has its own challenges. The trick is in managing them successfully. It requires a great deal of business acumen to sail through such challenges and emerge unscathed. The unique part of the challenges is that it affects the leasers more than the other players. Hence, Daniel George Latham being a leader in the logistics field had to face more than his share of challenges. Facing a challenge is a great trait. Succeeding in overcoming the challenge is a skill few people possess. Daniel Latham has this skill in plenty.
Daniel would unhesitatingly give the credit for overcoming the challenges to the tough childhood he had in life. Usually, you find children going to school and playing the rest of the time. Daniel does not know what you mean by play because of the simple reason that he has not played in his life. Right since childhood, he had to work for a living. He was among the few people in the world who had to earn in order to pursue his studies. In addition, he had to supplement the family income as well.
Therefore, one must admit that Daniel had the inner strength to face such challenges. The challenges could vary a lot depending on country to country. After establishing himself in the logistics industry, he shifted base to Dubai to start his own logistics company there. Persons like Daniel Latham are capable of shining everywhere.
When Daniel Latham started his logistics consultation and transportation company, he had very clear and defined ideas. His ultimate aim was to go global. He realized that the transportation industry in UK would be very small for his comfort. Unless he ventured outside in to the big world, he would not be able to realize his full potential. Therefore, his aim right since the first day was to end up as a global organization. He was of the firm belief that every logistics owner should try to end up going global. He understands the existence of mature and emerging markets in the international arena.
Daniel Latham believed in doing his homework correctly. He knew the markets of Dubai and the other countries in the Middle East like the back of his hand. This enables him to cater to every kind of challenge faced by the logistics industry in Dubai.
He has the tremendous ability to absorb setbacks in business. He has done so in his younger days as well. In other words, Daniel is a seasoned business personality capable of reaching the top in whichever business he ventures.

R v Latham; Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) (Lord Justice Kennedy, Mr Justice McKinnon, Mr Justice Johnson) 5 November 1996The existing sentencing tariff for offences of manslaughter resulting from the use of a knife, deliberately carried as a weapon in a public place, was too low and should be increased from around seven years to between 10 and 12 years.
The Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) granted an Attorney General's reference under section 36 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 for leave to refer to the court a sentence which he regarded as unduly lenient. The offender was Daniel George Latham, who was sentenced to five years' imprisonment for manslaughter, with three concurrent sentences of 18 months each for unlawful wounding, after pleading guilty to these offences before Mr Justice Wright at Maidstone Crown Court on 18 April 1996.
David Calvert-Smith (CPS HQ) for the Attorney General; William Clegg QC (assigned by the Registrar of Criminal Appeals) for the offender.
Lord Justice Kennedy said the offender, then aged 20, and a friend of his had become involved in a fight with eight other young men in the car park of a night-club in Gillingham, Kent. The offender produced a knife and stabbed four of his opponents. One of them died and the others required hospital treatment.
In interview the offender said he had been attacked and had used a knife in self-defence. He had been carrying a butterfly-knife, the blade of which was almost four inches long. He said he carried it in case he had trouble with others with whom he had previously fought. He said he had "lunged" with the knife but could not explain the injuries to three of the victims' backs.
He was originally indicted for murder and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, contrary to section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. But after discussion between counsel and with the judge in chambers, pleas were accepted instead of guilty to the lesser offences of manslaughter, on the ground of provocation, and unlawful wounding.
Although prosecuting counsel had not registered any objection to this at the time, the Attorney General was entitled to refer the matter to the Court of Appeal, and that court, if satisfied it would be right to do so, could increase the sentence. The discussion in chambers gave rise to no jurisdictional bar.
The Attorney General submitted that for offences of manslaughter resulting from the deliberate carrying of a knife in a public place with a view to it being used as a weapon by someone who took drink or drugs and then used it so as to cause death, a sentencing tariff had become established which was inappropriate.
In relation to this type of manslaughter, courts in recent years had tended to impose a sentence of about seven years' imprisonment on conviction, and four years on a plea of guilty. The sentence imposed by Wright J in this case was thus entirely in line with the existing tariff, but the Attorney General submitted that that tariff should now be reviewed.
His Lordship rejected the defendant's submission that section 36 of the 1988 Act did not permit the appeal court to increase an existing tariff, since a sentence within the tariff range could not be considered "unduly lenient" so as to entitle the court to interfere. There was nothing in the wording of section 36 to prevent the Attorney General's concluding that a tariff sentence was unduly lenient and it was difficult to see what there was to prevent the appeal court from coming to the same conclusion.
Section 2 of the Offensive Weapons Act 1996 increased to four years the penalty for carrying an offensive weapon without lawful authority or reasonable excuse. That demonstrated that Parliament shared the much publicised public concern about the carrying of knives.
Their Lordships were persuaded that the tariff sentence of seven years on conviction in this type of case was too low. Where an offender went out with a knife, carrying it as a weapon, and used it to cause death, even if there was provocation, he should expect to receive on conviction in a contested case a sentence of 10 to 12 years.
In the circumstances of the present case, however, it would be inappropriate to increase the offender's sentence.
