Sir Terry Leahy joins board of MetaPack
Sir Terry Leahy, the former chief executive of Tesco, has joined the board of directors of delivery management specialists MetaPack.
Leahy, who became a shareholder of the company in June 2011, will contribute to the strategic development of the firm as it looks to expand internationally. The move coincides with MetaPack opening its first European office in Hamburg, Germany.
Commenting on the appointment, Robert Willett, chairman of the Board, said: “We are delighted to formalise this relationship with Sir Terry who has already provided the board with valuable insight over the past year and a half. His knowledge of international growth will prove invaluable as we bring the benefits of the system to retailers worldwide.”
Leahy added: “MetaPack are already the de-facto standard for delivery excellence who have helped navigate the highly developed and complex UK carrier market. Europe and the rest of the world now realise the need for more effective delivery processes and I intend to help ensure MetaPack builds the network supporting the virtual supply chain as they advance.”
Founded in 1999, MetaPack’s retail clients include John Lewis, Marks & Spencer and Asos.
