14) Phil Shaw, MD, Norbert Dentressangle Logistics UK
With a staff of over 10,000 under his wing and high-profile clients including Asda, B&Q, Carlsberg and Marks & Spencer to keep happy, Norbert Dentressangle Logistics UK MD Phil Shaw is a man who obviously likes a challenge.
Shaw, who took on the role of MD following the departure of Malcolm Wilson (ranked 15 in last year’s line-up) in early 2013 to work directly for ND’s French parent, has been with the firm since 2008 and is jointly responsible with Mike Bridges, MD of ND’s UK Transport Services division, for a £1bn turnover business that is spread over 195 sites, runs 1,800 vehicles and operates around 2.5 million square metres of warehousing.
