CEVA Logistics integrates businesses worldwide

Posted by | Aug 19, 2008 | |

CEVA Logistics, one of the leading supply chain companies in the world, has announced a major restructure. Effective immediately, four Regional Presidents will be responsible for running the integrated businesses in Contract Logistics (CL) and Freight Management (FM). In making the announcement, CEO John Pattullo commented: “We believe this will bring our business even closer to customers and help us meet their growing need for integrated solutions.”

CEVA resulted from the merger of the former TNT Logistics with EGL Eagle Global Logistics in August 2007. The new company originally retained the CL and FM businesses as separate divisions, with the exception of Asia-Pacific, which tested a model integrating the two businesses at country level.

Following a very successful nine-month pilot in that region, the company has now decided to adopt the integrated model globally. As Pattullo explained, “The Asia test has delivered outstanding results. The integrated structure allows for one CEVA ‘face’ to the market, helps us stay very much attuned to customer expectations, and enables the provision of integrated solutions. Put simply, we think this new structure will let us do an even better job of supporting our customers.”

In recognition of its global nature and need for coordinated leadership, Joe Bento retains responsibility for the FM network to ensure cross-regional effectiveness.

Postcomm statement on Royal Mail's industry consultation on zonal access price structures (UK)

Posted by | Aug 14, 2008 | |

Postcomm welcomes Royal Mail’s industry consultation on a revised zonal access price structure. This consultation impacts on two projects which Postcomm has been undertaking over the past several months.

The first project is Postcomm’s general review of zonal access pricing (under which Royal Mail charges a zonal price for delivering mail to the “final mile” for large customers and other postal operators).

The second project concerns TNT Post UK Limited’s request to Postcomm for a direction under Condition 9 of Royal Mail’s licence for two access products, both of which it requested to be zonally priced but with a two zone pricing structure.

Postcomm hopes that Royal Mail, TNT Post and the wider industry will be able to work together to put in place appropriate terms for both zonally priced access and nationally priced access to the Royal Mail network. If agreed, these new arrangements could help to secure the provision of a strong and self financed universal service in parallel with the development and sustainability of both access and end-to-end competition.

Postcomm will aim to publish its observations on Royal Mail’s industry consultation by the end of August 2008.
