Two staff members at a Bangor logistics firm have been promoted to the senior leadership team.

H.F. Owen Transport, which has been operating in North Wales for more than 50 years, has named Geraint Walker as managing director and Suzi Kavanagh as finance director.

The promotions come as part of the company's success, largely attributed to its membership of the Pallet-Track network.

Mr Walker, who began his career at Delsol in 2013, has experience in all elements of the business.

Most recently, he passed his Transport CPC exams in 2022 and became transport manager at H.F. Owen.

Mr Walker said: "When I first joined H.F. Owen, I was its fleet manager, which was all about learning how the job works on a day-to-day basis.

"In 2022 I passed the CPC transport manager exam and last week I became managing director, which is a fantastic progression and one I am delighted with."

Ms Kavanagh, who has been with HF Owen's parent company for several years, was promoted to group accounts manager last year.

She said: "I have always liked a challenge and have been involved in the financials of the business for several years, so it’s great to get the recognition for that and a new job title."

The promotions coincide with the firm's expansion, including a lease on new land to increase capacity and the addition of nine new vehicles to its fleet, all for Pallet-Track work.

Mr Walker said: "My ambitions are to progress the company and move it forward in positive way.

"We’re in the midst of purchasing an all-new fleet to service the pallet network side of the business.

"We have an excellent team with excellent customer service and I’m really proud of all my employees."
