A finance expert within the supply chain industry, Jamie McDonagh has worked for GMAC CF (part of General Motors) and most recently Saint-Gobain Building Distribution, where within five years he progressed from acquisition accountant to financial controller of the international timber division.
Andy Turner, Palletways UK Owned Operations' managing director, said: "Having worked for global brands, Jamie brings very specialist finance experience to Palletways. I look forward to working with him and using his knowledge to the benefit our business."
About his appointment, Jamie McDonagh said: "I am delighted to have joined Palletways as I see a great opportunity, both on professional and corporate levels, as it's a progressive company which is continuing to grow. I'm looking forward to a productive year in 2012."
The Palletways Group is made up of over 300 depots and ten hub operations, through which it provides collection and distribution services across 11 European countries, including the UK. The company's distribution networks are made up of independent transport companies who share each other's resources to deliver small consignments of palletised freight to market faster and more cost effectively than ever before.
