Logistics UK strengthens multimodal knowledge

Business group Logistics UK has strengthened the strategic development of its multimodal offering with the appointment of four new directors to the organisation’s non-executive board. Mark Grimshaw-Smith, Jamie Hartles, Professor Rem Noormohamed and James Wroath bring a wealth of experience to the organisation from across all sectors of the industry.

“Our new non-executive directors join Logistics UK at a key time for our sector,” says Phil Roe, the organisation’s President, “and bring a wide range of knowledge to help us drive the organisation on to the next stage of its development. With roles covering all modes of transport, as well as business change and digital transformation, they will complement the skills already in place on the board to ensure we are best placed to serve the needs of our members, and the industry as a whole, as it grows and develops. I am looking forward to the challenges and insight that they will bring to our thinking.”
