Paul Sainthouse, Managing Director of Dawsongroup Bus and Coach, has been named President of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) in the UK for 2019.
As President of CILT (UK) – which is celebrating its centenary year – Paul, along with the board of directors, will work to create an institute that will deliver on its vision and support businesses and individuals.
Paul says: “Our sectors face numerous challenges as well as opportunities in this very rapidly evolving world, and I hope that CILT (UK), will continue to be recognised as an increasingly relevant organisation with an important part to play in upholding professionalism, delivering thought leadership and supporting its individual members’ personal development.”
The new President will build upon the significant work of his predecessor Robin Proctor, who helped implement a new strategy and shape a new vision for the Institute during his tenure.
Paul has spent more than 30 years with Dawsongroup, a specialist asset rental business operating in several related markets within the logistics sector, joining as a management trainee in 1987, and since 2002 in his current role as Managing Director of the group’s bus and coach business.
