Our People

The highly experienced executive team that leads our global business on a day-to-day basis is supported by a deep bench of over 120 senior managers worldwide.

The strategy team is responsible for developing our long-term strategic plans, including setting our five-year financial targets, evaluating new markets to enter and products and services to offer, analysing competitors and developing our capability and capacity.

We are also responsible for overseeing strategy execution. We work with divisional and functional leadership teams to ensure we hit our longterm targets. Additionally, we have responsibility for M&A. We find and evaluate acquisition targets to expand our capability and coverage, then manage the deal transaction process, and write the integration plan.

Simon Pearson CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER

During the last 12 months EV Cargo continued to make solid progress on executing it’s strategy.

We completed four acquisitions. Fast Forward Freight, Air Cargo Express and Allport Netherlands have substantially increased our footprint in Europe and taken us into many exciting new industry verticals. Dobbs Logistics in the UK strengthened our Palletforce LTL road freight network in the south east, giving us deeper coverage to better serve our members and customers. We continued the expansion of our platform in Asia. We now have four offices in China, firmly establishing our footprint in the world’s second largest logistics market. In Southeast Asia we have opened or are about to open our own offices in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as expanding our capability in Singapore. EV Cargo people and systems door to door to better serve our customers.

We made significant strides forward with digitalising EV Cargo, introducing technology that improves our customer experience, simplifies our work, enables managers to make better decisions and generates revenue through innovation. Finally we made good progress on our decarbonisation road map to help us to meet our commitment to be scope 1 and 2 carbon neutral by 2030.

Personally, it was great to start travelling again and to have the opportunity to meet so many people, from Southampton to Shanghai and 30+ places in between, to see the work you all do, and to share with you our strategy and your role in delivering it.
