Executive appointments and management changes at EV Cargo
EV Cargo has made series of executive and management appointments following the successful group-wide festive trading period.
EV Cargo has four operating segements: express, global forwarding, technology and logistics. Following the consolidation of six UK logistics businesses in November 2018, the chief executives of each segment take a place on the group board while still retaining their current roles within each individual company. They will report directly to EV Cargo chief executive Heath Zarin, who will head the logistics segment.
