International project logistics management company Trans Global Projects (TGP) has appointed Ben Taylor as general manager of its UK business.

Taylor brings over 20 years of experience in project cargo and shipping to TGP’s management team and will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the UK business and its future development.

Colin Charnock, Trans Global Projects chief executive, said: “Ben joins at an exciting time for TGP UK, following a period of sustained growth and as we look to continue to expand our role in the country’s energy transition. We look forward to working with Ben and benefitting from his significant experience.”

TGP recently grew its workforce across Europe, with three new appointments to its team in Bremen, Germany, a new head of operations for the Benelux region, and a new global head of communications and marketing.

Taylor said: “This is an exciting time for project logistics in the UK.

“Following the UK’s general election, the new government has reversed the ban on onshore wind, launched Great British Energy, and green-lit 131 new clean energy projects through the latest Contracts for Difference auction.

“TGP is well-placed to help deliver such projects and cement its place as a key player in the UK’s energy transition.”

Managing the UK’s operations, Taylor will be focused on consolidating TGP’s leading position in the project logistics industry, as well as capitalising on new opportunities through the energy transition.
