Egis has announced the appointment of Mike Birch as the new Transportation Director for the UK and Ireland. This move is part of the company's strategy to enhance its leadership capabilities and expand its presence in the transport infrastructure and mobility services sectors within the region.
Birch brings extensive experience, spanning over 35 years in both public and private sector roles. His most recent position was as Mass Transit Director at West Yorkshire Combined Authority, where he was responsible for leading significant initiatives. This background is expected to contribute to Egis's objectives for regional expansion.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this appointment signals Egis's commitment to developing transport infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. While not directly impacting immediate freight rates or capacity, improved infrastructure could lead to more efficient multimodal connections and potentially smoother inland logistics in the long term, benefiting supply chain operations.
