Bailey boots Palletline management team
Palletline plc, the UK’s most experienced palletized freight distribution network, has further strengthened the senior management team at its Birmingham hub through the appointment of Troy Bailey as General Manager – Operations.
Troy joins Palletline from another national network and will once again join forces with Operations Director Mark Pulford with whom he has previously worked.
Troy’s key role will be the day to day management of operations at Birmingham, focusing particularly on scanning, next day and economy deliveries and hub optimisation.
Troy has spent his entire career in the logistics and related sectors, staring with Caterpillar and then moving to Christian Salvesen where he was a contract manager for major customers including Land Rover, Massey Ferguson and Volvo.
He then spent eight years with Tamworth-based DFDS Transport as a divisional manager, before joining Geologistics in Birmingham where he spent two years as regional manager covering the midlands and south-west.
His most recent role saw him drive a number of key operational improvements for another national pallet distribution network.
Troy commented: “It’s great to be joining a sector leader such as Palletline and once again working alongside Mark Pulford with whom I have previously developed an excellent partnership. I’m very much looking forward to tackling the challenges ahead.”
Palletline Director Kevin Buchanan added: “Troy has a wealth of experience in the sector and his appointment is a key one as we continue to build a strong operational team which will drive the network’s ongoing growth and success.”
Troy, 42, is married with two children aged four and two and lives in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire.
