We would not have developed to where we are today without our people. And we have good people, who care about what they do. Their work ethic and dedication, particularly evident in times of global crises, is without question, inspiring. Simply put, without them we would not exist.
They connect everything together. They interact with our customers, partners and suppliers as though we were all one. After all, when customers contract suppliers, for the relationship to be successful, a partnership is created. No matter how good technology can be, you can never replace the human freight forwarder.

“Co-founder of the Company in August 2000, my background since leaving school in 1978 has been a combination of various jobs within the freight industry, plus organist/keyboard player in many clubs and pubs around Manchester. Between 1978 and 1983 I worked for several companies in the Ocean Freight sector dealing with Canada & Malta, plus general forwarding anywhere & everywhere. After a short spell as full time musician between 1983 & 1986, in 1989, the company I was working for at that time started an Italian service which I was to control. This was the start of my development in the Italian market which eventually led to the foundation of Ital Logistics.”
“Whilst no longer playing music as a profession, I still enjoy playing and recording music at home. And when the weather allows, I occasionally humiliate myself playing golf.”
“Having grown the company to its current stage, in September this year (2022), as part of a graduated exit strategy, my wife, Dianne, and I have, sold a 75% shareholding to several of our colleagues. This management restructure will provide new impetus for growth, whilst allowing a tapered exit from the trials and tribulations of managing a company spread over a year or two as the new management team settle in to their new roles.”
“I expect I shall always be involved in some capacity, even if just to mither the hell out of them!”

dianne@ital-logistics.com
My wife, Dianne, became involved in the Company fairly soon after inception, beforehand working within both the NHS and the education sector. Initially handling all of the accounts, as we increased our business, the need to increase the size of the accounts department since segmented the work.
Dianne’s operational role prior to our management restructure in September of this year (2022), was taking charge of the UK Purchase Ledger, always taking pride in ensuring that all our suppliers are paid in a timely manner, thereby gaining trust and respect from our suppliers.
Handing her work over to Ashleigh as the new Accounts Director, Dianne has now retired as an employee, but still remains a Director and Shareholder.

01706 248 020
On the 5th May 2009 Dean joined the company to work alongside Derek Heap on the Italian Export department following the closure of the previous company where he worked for some seven years. Ital Logistics has a very specific methodology, and attention to detail is fore-front to this. It was soon very clear that Dean met this exacting criterion, and some time before the move to our new facility in 2014, he took over from Derek as Italian Export manager. Supplementing the Company’s specialisation in the carriage of dangerous goods, he also became our 4th DGSA in 2019.
Dean is meticulous in every way, and everything has to be done to perfection. It is this aspect of Dean’s character that sets him apart from many. His dedication is without question, and no matter how much pressure he is under, he will always offer assistance to others. Mindful of the plethora and complexities of administration in managing a company, his qualities will set him in good stead as the Company moves towards the next phase of ownership.
In September this year (2022) Dean has indeed moved forward and, acquiring shares alongside fellow colleagues, he is now the Managing Director. No pressure Dean!

Commencing his career within the freight industry in 1987, Mike joined us in September 2007 as Sales Manager. Much of his experience in the twenty years before he joined Ital Logistics was within the Eastern Bloc countries, but his wealth of experience, across all aspects of forwarding enables him to adapt the same principals to any geographical location.
Completely dedicated to his work, Mike takes great pride in all that he does. His energy and enthusiasm is both overwhelming and contagious, and he is never deterred, no matter how hard the going gets.
His knowledge, in particular of some of the more difficult Eastern European markets is exceptional, has enabled us to handle many movements we would otherwise have been unable to do so. An asset to the company, and a great person.
As part of the management restructure in September this year (2022), Mike has acquired shares and has become Commercial Director.

James joined Ital Logistics in October 2005 to work in the General Forwarding department. As time progressed, his interest in the Spanish market gathered momentum, and in early 2008 he was encouraged to devote more time to this line. From what was part of the General forwarding business, over the years this has steadily become one of our fastest growing markets, and is now contributing around 30% of the Company’s turnover. James’ enthusiasm and hunger for the Company’s development has been instrumental in enabling the growth of a market fraught with economic difficulties.
In the BIFA awards of 2015 we promoted James, in his last year of eligibility, to enter the Young Freight Forwarder of the Year award. Although he did not win the award, he was one of four finalists, which in itself an exceptional achievement. In some ways, not winning was a more motivational result in that it fuelled his desire to improve on his capabilities. James’ character is to aspire and to be successful. Certainly one of the future generation of directors to take over the reins of Ital Logistics.
And right on cue, in September this year (2022), James has now acquired shares alongside fellow colleagues as part of Phil & Dianne’s exit strategy, and is now director of service development.

One of our longest serving colleagues and one of the most important, Kurtis joined the company in February 2003, and then took a fortnight off! Well, he was getting married, so I suppose we can let that one go! Kurtis heads off the Italian Import department with support from Steve and Peter. Between them they manage close on 20-30 trailers per week inbound. Kurtis has great ability in bringing everything together, and from nothing can make something. In addition, he takes overall responsibility for the Italian routes having earned his position within the Company due to his irrepressible commitment, even under the most strenuous of circumstances.
Having grown and developed with the Company, there is little doubt that he will take at some stage over the reins alongside others as future owners of the Company.
That stage materialised in September this year (2022) when alongside fellow colleagues he acquired shares and is now director of operations, whilst still maintaining strong leverage on the Italian market. These Italians need keeping an eye on!

Ashleigh joined the Company in October 2009 straight from college where she gained BTEC diplomas in Fashion & Clothing, and Art & Design. One may ask what on earth she is doing in freight forwarding, but whatever the reason, we’re definitely not complaining!
Focusing on the our UK Sales Ledger, she also monitors the status of our clients and suppliers, granting credit as appropriate, whilst also monitoring supplier compliance. She quietly gets on with her role with immeasurable efficiency, and is eager to accept new challenges, soaking them up with consummate ease.
Always there to help others, no matter how busy she is, Ashleigh has firmly established herself in the Company as a very important cog in our machinery.
Little did she know when she joined the company would she become a shareholder and director, and in September this year (2022) she did just that, taking over from Dianne as Accounts Director.
And in case you didn’t notice, yes, her name has changed from Green to Morris as she [finally] married Daniel at the same time!

01706 248 018
Derek joined our Italian export team in October 2005, and shortly afterwards took the lead export role for Italy. Having focused on Italy with his previous employer, the transition to Ital Logistics was relatively easy. As our niche specialisation on the Carriage of Dangerous Goods grew, the need for a second DGSA (Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor) arose so that we always had at least one DGSA on site. Derek’s attention to detail was affirmation that he would be the man for this, and in 2008 he qualified as DGSA.
On the run up to our move to new premises in December 2014, Derek became responsible for the Health & Safety aspects of the Company, the management of the warehouse, and the overall security of our location.
In November this year (2022) Derek was appointed onto the Board of Directors.

John has been in the industry since 1995, the lion’s share of these years being in the road freight sector. John joined us in 2015 and openly admits that the thought of joining a smaller company, after working for some of the biggest players globally, was a step into the unknown. But after meeting us a couple of times he knew we would work well together and hands were shook. John’s efforts have had a considerable effect on the Company in the few years he has been here, with consistent measures of year on year growth.
John would highlight that the immediate difference working at Ital Logistics over previous much larger forwarders, is he is allowed to ‘get on’ with it. “We don’t have sales meetings here – unless we need to. We target and bring the right types of business on board, we manage it well and move it as we say we can – on own services, were we manage the movement of every kilo, every kilometre.” John is also proud of the high retention of clients here, we lose very few clients, this is huge to us and a large contributor to the organic growth on which we continue to build upon year after year.
John is a stickler for not letting a good business opportunity get away particularly when well suited to our core markets & specialist industry sectors, this is reflected on the business he continues to target and bring on board.

Daniel joined us in May 2013, having spent his previous 5 years in a combination of operational and sales within the freight industry covering both road, sea and air modes of transport. His role was initially to support our general forwarding road freight services and to lend assistance to our new sea and air services at the time.
He now focuses solely on road freight, including express freight and cross trades across the whole European continent.
Daniel holds a wide spectrum of knowledge, quietly and confidently performing his role to aplomb.

01706 248 015
Prior to March 2013, any Ocean Freight (and Air) movements were pretty much ad hoc. But with increasing demand from many of our existing clientele, the need for expert knowledge was clearly evident. So, March 2013, enter Andrew Knowles. Andrew had been involved in the industry for some 27 years at that time, initially as consolidator, and in the prior decade as Ocean freight forwarder in the Midlands. His valued experience in this sector has added a further dimension to the Company’s portfolio.
Following the gradual growth of sea and air movements, we were able to bring on board a second person to work alongside Andrew in January 2019. This extra capacity enabled us to double our sea export movements, and as recent as March 2020, the Company enjoyed its best sea freight result. If 2020 continues in the same vein, 2019 will be bettered by at least 50%. Plans to continue expanding on this mode are high on the agenda, especially in view of Brexit. Furthermore, Andrews extensive knowledge in custom procedures will place us in a good position post-Brexit.

01706 248 009
Having been involved in the freight industry, since around 2000, Peter joined our Italian import team in July 2011. His previous role was handling European Imports, so he stepped in quite nicely and has been plugging away ever since. A bit like Steve Bossons, very little phases him and he just quietly ‘get’s on with it’.
As our import services have grown, moreover after Brexit, it became evident that we needed to appoint someone to harmonise the processes across all import departments. For all of us, Brexit was a learning curve, no matter how much knowledge you had ‘back in the day’ before we joined the EU. Peter was quick to absorb the new import procedures, and it became clear that he was the right person to be promoted to Import Manager.
Whilst he still has a major lean towards the Italian import services, he helps steer the other road freight import departments, sharing with them his newly found knowledge.

What can we say about Steve? When he arrives into the office, he plugs himself in. And if somebody didn’t unplug him, he’d still be here. He eats files for fun and is often referred to as ‘The Machine’. Never ruffled, Steve joined us in September 2005 to add to our Italian Import department and has been here ever since.
Steve is a key member of the Italian Import team adding resolute stability to the import conveyor belt.

Following the birth of her son, she migrated from Birmingham in November 2020, and sought to resume her career mid-2021 after finishing her period of maternity leave. She is therefore fluent in ‘Brummie’, and is our company’s only supporter of Wolverhampton Wanderers!
Hannah has joined us on the Italian import department, and has a high degree of attention to detail. With the new regulations post-Brexit, this is a vital attribute and one which will aid her progression in the company.

Joseph’s interest in the aviation sector, following studying this at college, led him into his first role which was predominantly dealing with dispatching and passenger aircraft. This then led him into the freight world where he became an operations coordinator with the pick and pack operations for a small business in south Manchester.
Seeing the job advert with Ital logistics, he felt that we would be a good place for him to further develop his skills, and find new challenges within the logistics sector. Joseph has quickly settled into his role in our import department with aplomb, and in his own words – “I have loved every second since doing so.”

Mark joined the company in August 2014, previously having done a 7 year stint with the NHS. So this is his first job within the freight industry. His role at Ital Logistics is in our Italian export department which accounts for 20% of our total business. He has handled the change of career very well, especially considering that Dean is a hard taskmaster with his constant aspiration to dot every ‘i’ possible.
His hard work has indeed paid off. Following the management buyout in September this year (2022), he moved into Dean Emsley’s old shoes as Dean progressed to Managing Director. Mark is now head of the Italian export department.

Jonathan joined us at the start of the last quarter of 2016 with no real experience of the industry. His only link to the industry was his brother David who manages our Greek service. At the time we had little choice but to throw him in at the deep end hoping he was a good swimmer. As a result, he has bobbed in and out of the water a few times! In his own words, he didn’t realise how involved this industry is and what goes on behind the scenes to which outsiders are often oblivious.
Having spent a year on Central and Southern Spanish exports, he now resides in the Italian export department, where he also heads the Maltese service. He is always eager to get involved and will lend a hand on any department as and when required. A great team player.

Kristine joined our Italian Exports department in March 2021. Although this is her first role in freight forwarding, she is no stranger to the world of logistics. In her previous role for a diving equipment company she was responsible for all logistics and fulfilment for a UK Ministry of Defence contract. Such a contract naturally required the utmost attention to detail.
What struck me about Kristine when interviewing her, was her ‘no nonsense’ approach to business matters. She struck me as one who had high demands of herself, and an energy to ‘get things done’.
Kristine has quickly embedded herself into our Italian export team and has become a valued and respected team member.

This is Sydnee’s first job in the forwarding industry after previously working as a carer. What interested her most about freight forwarding is that she can be involved in sending goods to many different places, many which she “hasn’t even heard of!”
Being someone who enjoys travel and exploring new places, she considers that this industry coincides with her hobbies well. Let’s see if she feels the same after her millionth customs entry!!!
Sydnee has learned a lot since she joined us. She has shown us that she can adapt to any task given to her. She has stepped in on most departments for holiday (or crisis!) cover, and is gradually becoming a well rounded freight forwarder.

David is one of our great characters. He is always first to the phone, has a great enthusiasm for anything and everything, and simply one of the most likeable people you could ever know. It only seems 5 minutes, but it was in July 2010 when David joined the Italian Export team. Following a change of Greek partner in 2012, he side-shifted slightly and took Greece as his primary role, whilst also offering continued support on the Italian Exports.
Following our move to new premises at the end of 2014, the Greek service started to pick up steam and it wasn’t long before David needed to focus solely on Greece. And in doing so, he has taken the line from 1-3 export trailers per week to upwards of 4-5, plus full loads, as well as handling between 2 and 4 import trailers.

It is clear that she enjoys the fast-paced environment. With excellent organisational skills and the ability to focus, she is unphased by whatever gets thrown at her. The forwarding industry can at best be unpredictable!

From her grandparents background of warehousing and distribution, Laura joined us mid 2017 as a dual role; booking in goods, checking weights/measurements, coupled with some accounts administrative tasks. She adapted to her role extremely well and soon after, at the turn of the year in January 2018, she took over the control of all of our storage contracts.
As time progressed, and as our Greek service needed another pair of hands, we decided to move Laura away from the administrative part of her role to gain some experience assisting David on the Greek imports, as well as keeping tight control of our storage contracts. Laura made a further move halfway through 2019 to work alongside Dean on Italian exports and then across to the Spanish export team in June 2021 to further her development.
Conscious of the environment, she took it upon herself to investigate our waste management company and did site visits to find out exactly how our waste is managed. She is eager to learn, and do new things, and to further her knowledge.

Greg started his freight forwarding career in 1993, starting as a junior freight clerk at what was then a relatively small niche Scandinavian operator. Ironically, the office was less that 200 metres away from our site in Heywood! Acquisitions within the business took Greg on a journey through various different roles, controlling export and import departments, and more recently onto internal sales. However, after 24 years service, Greg felt that the time was right to look for a fresh challenge, and in December 2017 Greg joined our Iberian team.
We are pleased to have Greg on board; his seniority within the business and his attention to detail is a great help to balance the younger entrepreneurial skills of his colleagues. His focus in Ital Logistics is working with Simon on the Barcelona export route, but like everyone in the Company, lends a hand anywhere and everywhere when necessary.

Prior to joining Ital Logistics, Corey worked for one of our Benelux suppliers. Aware that he was about to relocate to Lancashire, and looking to take alternative employment, we were pleased to take Corey on board, even though at the time we didn’t truly ‘need’ another person. Sometimes you have to act.
Corey started in our Italian department providing support to both our export and import teams as we continued to increase our market share. As this role was more of a ‘mark time’ role, as soon as we saw the opportunity to enter the French market, Corey was moved to the Iberian department with a focus on France. Why is France associated with Iberia one may ask? Well, geographically it is en route and was how we were able to develop French services on the back of northern Spanish services.
Thanks to Corey’s approach to learning and developing the French market, aided and directed by James, we now operate to all of France, growing year on year since 2018 by 10% and 20% respectively for the first halves of each year to date (2020). The latter also during a period of global pandemic. Corey also handles our Portuguese traffic.

One of the warehousemen at our previous location, Chris joined us in 2014 when we moved to our new premises. But for a variety of reasons, in particular location, he left early in 2017. Realising that a few extra miles for a job he preferred, and in his own words “to a Company who truly cares about its people”, he returned in February 2018. And we are glad he did.
When he joined us initially he had hair – now he doesn’t. That’s freight forwarding for you!
He is a Manchester United fan and a keen golfer. So the four day week shift we operate gives him every Monday to get out on the course. Married and devoted to his son, Taylor, he is a great team member and, despite the odd moan and groan (that’s life!), he does a great job.

Liam joined us as a trainee warehouseman in July 2018, sitting his forklift training within a few months and passed accordingly. Learning from our more experienced warehouse chaps, he is gaining confidence and will be a valuable team member in time.
Straying from football, he is a Rugby fan instead, supporting Leigh, which is his home town. He also enjoys video gaming; as long as he doesn’t start doing Gran Turismo with his fork lift truck we’ll be OK!
