Suttons Group MD Andrew Palmer will step down from his role at the end of April.
John Sutton, who currently manages the group’s international division, will take on Palmer’s responsibilities as group MD from 1 May 2013, the Widnes-based operator has said.
Palmer (pictured second from right at the Motor Transport Awards) will retire from his full-time executive role on 30 April, but will join the board at parent company Thomas Cradley Holdings (TCH) as non-executive director in May.
TCH chairman Michael Sutton said: “The board and the shareholders would like to express considerable thanks to Andrew for the way in which he has transformed the fortunes of the company making it a highly profitable and substantial global provider of bulk logistics services with an outstanding reputation for safe, high quality services.”
John Sutton will work alongside Palmer until the end of April and will join the TCH board. Sutton’s successor is yet to be announced.
Suttons celebrated the Queen's Diamond Jubile last year with a union flag paint job on the the front of one of its new Volvo trucks.
