The Chairman of Linfox, Peter Fox, has announced that long-standing CEO of Linfox Logistics, Michael Byrne (pictured), will vacate his role in December 2014.

Fox has thanked Byrne for his nine-year contribution to the company.

“I want to thank Michael for his tremendous commitment and dedication to Linfox Logistics,” he said.

“He has led the business through a period of unparalleled business growth. Michael has led massive improvements in safety, established an industry-leading sustainability program, a wide range of educational opportunities for our people, key advances in our IT capability and sharpened our focus on strategic partnerships with our customers across Asia Pacific.
