One the key stepping stones to building a successful business is hiring the right people. XPO Logistics chief executive Bradley Jacobs told The Loadstar during a recent interview that he identified which executives he wanted to join his organisation, and then “charmed them in”.

While not applying any legal sanctions on XPO, the case could well be asset-back for the young company.
