Brian Gaunt is to take over as chief executive of iForce, the multi-channel logistics specialist, from Mark Hewitt later this month.
Hewitt has decided to leave the company after eight years in the role. IForce chairman Bill Ziegler said: “Mark believes he has done what he came to do and so feels the time is right to move on and consider other professional challenges. I would like to thank Mark, on behalf of the board, our colleagues and our customers, for his commitment, energy and achievements over the past eight years and wish him well for the future.”
