TITLE Chief Executive ORGANISATION TDG
Mike Branigan has quickly made his way up the ladder at TDG, haying started in 2001. He's been IT director, he's led contract logistics in the Netherlands, Ireland, and the UK. In March, he was promoted to the top job following David Garman's departure after the Laxey Partners buy-out.
Branigan has integrated the contract logistics and chemicals divisions into one business, and reorganised the group by product: end-to-end supply chain management; freight forwarding; and fourthand third-party logistics.
Ifs for TDG's 4PL and 3PL contracts that we've listed him. Those agreements have angered many operators that previously worked for those clients because they now work directly for TDG as subcontractors or not at all if they won't take the reduced rates.
In TDG's defence, we don't hear the clients complaining, so watch out for more outsourcing deals going TDG's way.
