A long and fulfilling career with Meachers
Meachers Global Logistics operations director Rob Lewis has retired after a long and successful career with the company, spanning 42 years. He was given a fond farewell at the end of March, while a warm welcome was extended to Sean Farrell, Meachers’ new import manager.
Lewis started work in the industry in 1972, he joined Oast Agencies in 1980 and continued as general manager when Meachers acquired Oast in 1989. He then progressed to a directorship with Meachers, heading up the company’s freight forwarding department. During his career, Lewis also served as regional chairman of The Institute of Export and the Bifa and on national committees of Bifa.
As the new import manager, Farrell will head a team of five in the freight forwarding department. Before joining Meachers, he spent 13 years at Delamode (import services), where he has been freight forwarding manager for the past five years. (cj) h
