TNT Post appoints Andrew Firth as a regional Business Development Director

TNT Post is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Firth as a regional Business Development Director. Based at TNT Post in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, Andrew will be responsible for developing new business initiatives from Greater London to the Midlands and expanding the company’s rapidly growing client base. He will manage a team of 13 staff and will report to Bob van Ierland, Director of End to End Development.

Andrew joins TNT Post with more than 25 years of experience working in logistics. Previously, Andrew ran his own logistics consultancy handling contracts worth up to GBP 1 million per annum. Prior to that, in 2003, Andrew was drafted in to save a specialist logistics and installation company, which he then made profitable within two years.

The team Andrew joins started operations in August 2006 and focuses specifically on attracting new business from Greater London to the Midlands.

Bob van Ierland, Director of End to End Development commented: “TNT Post is going from strength to strength in the central region of the UK as more businesses in the Midlands, East Anglia and Greater London realise the range of benefits and savings we can offer. From a team of six at the outset in January, Andrew becomes our fourteenth member of staff and we are delighted that he is joining us at such an exciting time. We expect to handle more than 30 million items within the region by the end of this year and are confident that Andrew’s prior experience in logistics, especially the commercial and strategic aspect, will provide valuable expertise when growing TNT Post’s portfolio.”

TNT Post now boasts a customer base of more than 200 local businesses in Greater London to the Midlands, with the majority receiving TNT Post’s PremierSort Flex, a two to three day postal service, with Royal Mail continuing to carry out the final mile delivery to customers’ homes nationwide. Current customers come from a range of sectors such as government, automobile and entertainment.

The PremierSort Flex service is specifically tailored to meet the needs of small to medium sized businesses or companies that have lower business mail volumes and offers valuable benefits to local businesses such as: flexible pick up times, cost savings, use of tracking systems that enable improved visibility and management, and a fast and reliable high level of service.
