Bibby boss takes over helm at FTA

Bibby boss takes over helm at FTA Theo de Pencier has succeeded Richard Turner as chief executive of British supply chain representative body, the Freight Transport Association.
   de Pencier was CEO of Liverpool-based Bibby Distribution and a director of its parent company, Bibby Line Group, the oldest privately owned shipowner in the world, established in 1807. He has more than 20 years of board-level experience in the logistics and supply chain industry, working for NFC and Danzas before joining Bibby in 1999.
   “I have had a terrific eight years at Bibby, helping to grow the distribution business into a leading player and being part of a successful private, family owned group,” de Pencier said. “However, the opportunity to join FTA and develop further its industry leadership in terms of representation and services to members was too good to miss.”
