TVVO senior National Freight Consortium managers have joined Systemline, the contract distribution divison of Lex Wilkinson, to strengthen the management team in readiness for a major assault on the contract distribution market.
Brian Templar has been appointed managing director and Stephen Hayward (son of former National Carriers managing director Brian Hayward) is general manager in a reorganisation aimed at expanding the operation.
Moody retires
KEITH MOODY, Strathclyde PTE's director of operations and engineering, retired earlier this month, aged 50.
Mr Moody joined SPTE four years ago from West Midlands PTE, and has been in charge of the PTE's direct bus operations and for the Glasgow Underground. His departure leaves the undertaking with two directors, director-general Alan Westwell and director of finance, personnel and integrated operations Norman Stirling. That is the minimum number demanded by the 1968 Transport Act.
SPTE's controller of direct operation and passenger needs, Ted Reid, left earlier this year to join Kingston upon Hull City Transport's management team. His role has been taken over by Glasgow South bus unit manager George Hall, who is now controller and bus manager (general). Mr Templar has joined Lex Wilkinson from BRS, where he was general manager responsible for a distribution contract for Argyll Foods. He had been with NFC companies since 1973, initially selling distribution schemes for BRS for three years before moving to National Carriers to set up its contract hire and contract distribution service. In 1982 he went to Australia for NFC to establish a contract distribution operation there.
Mr Hayward also joins Lex Wilkinson from the NFC group, having joined Eastern BRS in 1976 as an operations trainee, later becoming assistant manager of its Derby branch. Since then he has held other management positions with the NFC including a period as operations director of the retail division of National Carriers and general manager of the BRS operations at Leicester, Derby and Chesterfield.
