James Mears

 

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.
