Prior to this he worked from 1999 to 2015 at Schmitz Cargobull, the German trailer and truck bodies manufacturer, progressing from engineering manager to managing director.

Avery said: “I am very excited by the vision of Transdek founder Mark Adams, regarding changing the double deck and single deck markets offering a complete logistics solution. All of Transdek’s products deliver such a speedy return on investment for customers, through substantial operational cost savings. The company is an innovator, not a follower, and as an engineer this provides me with a very unique opportunity.”
