Mr Turner has more than 20 years’ experience in transport and logistics, including over seven years with XPO, where he was “instrumental in XPO’s strategic expansion in the UK e-commerce and direct-to-consumer digital sectors”.

That was followed by a stint as head of development at Yodel and head of digital and e-fulfilment at Wincanton.

Mr Myers said: “Andrew is taking over the leadership of a highly successful team, where his strong industry background will drive our further development in multichannel distribution, retail replenishment, national transport management and final mile delivery.

“Andrew understands the importance of working in partnership with customers and delivering innovative solutions that support their needs over the long term,” he added.
