EV Cargo’s Palletforce has appointed Adam Leonard as its new chief executive.

Leonard takes over from Michael Conroy who, after 13 years at the helm of the company, has been promoted to the new position of EV Cargo UK chief executive and now heads up all EV Cargo’s UK operations.

Leonard has been Palletforce’s member relations director since joining the company in January 2020. 

Previously he oversaw the successful development of The Pallet Network as its chief executive before leading a management buy-out.

Leonard said: “It’s both a privilege and a challenge to follow Michael after his successful period leading Palletforce.

“The last 18 months have been a unique and challenging time for everyone in the sector and my focus as chief executive will be on ensuring the entire Palletforce network continues to work collectively, collaboratively and in the spirit of the membership to ensure our continued success.

“Ongoing restrictions have eliminated face-to-face meetings, however, my strategy is to further enhance relationships with our membership ensuring we continue to work together, facing the challenges as one, for the collective benefit of all.”
