Logistics operator Europa Worldwide Group has promoted Adam McBride from Commercial Controller to Finance Director.
Since he joined in 2016 McBride has played at integral role in developing new financial systems including the launch of Leo Finance, Europa’s internal IT system, and delivered a new reporting system to create a more efficient way of reviewing finances across all Europa divisions – Road, Air & Sea, Warehouse, Showfreight, Contact Centre and Continental Cargo Carriers.
In addition to this, McBride has been heavily involved in the financial forecasting of Europa’s new £60million site at Corby. It’s most ambitious project to date, the new ‘best in class’ 3PL warehousing and logistics facility at Midlands Logistics Park, Northants, is set to open in June 2020.
Managing Director of Europa Worldwide Group, Andrew Baxter, said“Adam has been working with Europa since 21016 and is an excellent example of how we strive to nurture talent from within, ensuring staff have the opportunity to develop and progress.”
“By the end of 2019 the business had grown to £205m (with profits of £6m). As a fast-growing business it’s important to have the best and most trusted people at the helm, across all divisions, and that includes Finance.
“I believe Adam is the best person for the job, largely because he knows the business so well and has already been working across some of our key projects including our Leo IT system and Corby Warehouse.”
As Europa’s Finance Director, McBride’s new role will include the overall management of the 30 strong Finance team.
