Eric Born revealed he was leaving Wincanton last month to be succeeded by group finance director Adrian Colman.
Born, who joined Wincanton in 2009 as chief operating officer and became chief executive in 2010, has accomplished his mission.
Namely taking on a business that in 2011 plunged to a £26m full-year loss on turnover of £2.2bn and transforming it into a smaller, but healthy, operator with a turnover for the year ended March 2014 of £1bn, and that all important pre-tax profit of £34.9m.
However, at the time of the announcement his destination wasn’t revealed.
Well, The Hub thought it would be appropriate to follow up (the man was afterall a guest editor of Motor Transport) and report what Eric did next.
And it appears he’s going home, having been revealed last week as the new president and CEO of Swissport, an airport luggage and freight handler that has an annual turnover of 3bn Swiss francs (£2bn).
With Swissport providing ground services for around 229 million passengers and shifting 4.1 million tonnes of cargo a year on behalf of some 700 client-companies in the aviation sector - in 45 countries with the help of 60,000 employees - The Hub suspects there's got to be a few trucks in the operation somewhere.
