Culina Group has appointed Tim Lawlor to be its new chief financial officer (CFO), replacing Thierry Held who is pursuing his career in his home country of Germany.
Lawlor has previously undertaken several senior finance positions and was previously CFO at Serco UK & Europe, Countryside Partnerships plc, Vistry and at Wincanton, where he served from 2015 to 2022.
Liam McElroy, group CEO at Culina Group, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Tim into the group at this exciting phase in the company’s growth journey.
“Tim’s breadth of experience and insight across both the logistics and wider business-to-business sectors offers Culina a great opportunity to drive our strategic ambitions and accelerate our ‘One Culina’ programme.”
“I have no doubt that Tim will be a valuable addition to our leadership team.”
Lawlor will join Culina Group in November and will work closely with the outgoing Held to ensure a smooth transition.
Writing in Motor Transport recently, McElroy said its One Culina approach gave customers one front door to the group’s services and subsidiary brands, helping to create a simpler and more unified organisation that would be easier for the market to understand.
