Staffordshire logistics operator Emerge has promoted Tasha Oram to the role of head of transport, just over a decade after she joined the company as an apprentice.
Announcing her promotion, Palletways member Emerge said it reflected the company’s commitment to developing talent from within.
Logistics has been part of Oram’s life from an early age. Some of her earliest memories are of sitting beside her father in his truck during school holidays – an experience that set her on the road to the career she would go on to build.
Speaking about her appointment, Oram said: “I’ve grown up around the world of transport and have built my career with Emerge, so I couldn’t be prouder to be stepping into this role.
“We have a dedicated team who take real pride in what they do, and I’m excited to continue building on that as we deliver for our customers every day. It’s a privilege to lead this department, and I’m looking forward to supporting our people and helping them grow alongside the business.”
Richard Harris, Emerge managing partner, added: “Tasha’s progression is a brilliant example of what can be achieved through dedication and hard work.
“She understands our operation inside out and has earned the respect of colleagues and drivers alike.
“We’re confident she will continue to strengthen our transport offering in the years ahead.”
Warwick Trimble, Palletways UK network director, commented: “Congratulations to Tasha on this well-earned appointment.
“It’s fantastic to see a new generation of leaders rising through the logistics sector, and we’re proud that our members are helping make that happen.”
Emerge is a member of the Palletways UK pallet network and provides palletised freight distribution and logistics services from its Staffordshire base.
The company is one of more than 130 independent transport businesses operating within the Palletways UK network, which provides nationwide and international pallet distribution through a hub-and-spoke model.
