TDG announce divisional reorganisation and Board change

19 April 2007 - TDG has announced the creation of a combined Contract Logistics division. This division will encompass all of TDG's businesses other than the Chemicals division. The Company expects the new division to better meet the needs of its multinational customers.
Mike Branigan has been appointed as Managing Director of the new division which brings together the operations of UK Contract Logistics with those of TDG's operations in The Netherlands and Ireland, of which he is already Managing Director. At this stage in the Group's development the existing freight forwarding and other specialist businesses in each of these territories will remain part of the division, which will also incorporate TDG's Temperature Controlled Services business.

Mike Branigan was appointed Managing Director of TDG's Netherlands operations in 2005 and assumed responsibility for TDG's Ireland operations in early 2006.

John Winston, the Managing Director of UK Contract Logistics Division, has decided to step down to pursue opportunities outside the logistics industry. John has led the division for four and a half years and has also been a Director of TDG plc for nearly three years.

Urban Transport Policy in Europe: Meeting City Demands for Green Logistics

New Research from Analytiqa
Urban Transport Policy in Europe: Meeting City Demands for Green Logistics takes an in-depth look at the current initiatives and legislation currently being planned and implemented across twenty cities in twelve European countries across both West and Eastern Europe.

The issues addressed are those that will have the greatest impact on providers working within the express, logistics or supply chain arena. It is critical that hauliers, courier and express, logistics and distribution companies across all sectors understand and account for changes in their operational environment.

This report will assist decision makers within these organisations to ensure correct future investment into vehicles, resources, strategies and services that are not only compliant with future environmental legislation (Euro 4, Euro IV, Euro 5, Euro V, etc) and developments, but more importantly, are considered and hence able to take full advantage of some of the opportunities the future, 'greener', market will provide.
