Tom Ashley Appointed CEO of ILG & GFS
We are pleased to announce that Tom Ashley has been appointed CEO of ILG and GFS.
In February 2024, ILG acquired Global Freight Solutions (GFS), a pioneer in Enterprise Carrier Management (ECM) and an industry-leading provider of delivery technology and services.
Whilst ILG and GFS have been operating independently, this is the first step of bringing together the combined strengths of both businesses, as part of the Yusen Logistics Group.
Tom Ashley commented:
“As CEO, I’m truly excited about the opportunity to bring together the strengths of ILG and GFS. Together, we will continue to invest in our teams, our customers and the technology that powers our growth – while building on the culture and values that make both businesses special.”
With Tom’s new appointment comes a combined new ILG & GFS Board:
Tom Ashley, Chief Executive Officer
Chris Ellard, Chief Procurement Officer
Peter Liu, Chief Information Officer
Garry Hammond, Chief Financial Officer
Kristine Pollock, Chief People Officer
Simon Clifford, Chief Commercial Officer – Fulfilment
Dan Ennor, Chief Commercial Officer – Delivery
This marks a significant new chapter in uniting ILG and GFS, combining expertise in e-commerce fulfilment and multi-carrier delivery technology, ensuring both businesses are well-positioned for future growth as well as differentiating our offering to our fulfilment and delivery clients.
