Transport and logistics group MOVE Logistics has appointed Paul Millward as interim chief executive, effective 4 September.
Millward was most recently the CEO of 2 Cheap Cars, where he transformed the company into the leading NZX market performer in 2023. Prior to that, he has held numerous roles in sales leadership, finance and executive positions across several sectors, in New Zealand and offshore.
“We are pleased to be welcoming Paul to the MOVE team. He has an impressive track record of delivering results and his leadership and passion for talent will be valued as we move at pace to reshape and streamline the business, adapting it for current market conditions, and making MOVE more efficient and fit for the future,” said chair of MOVE, Julia Raue.
“Paul will provide strong leadership for MOVE as we accelerate our turnaround plans, following a period of disappointing financial performance in challenging economic conditions.
“The Board looks forward to working with Paul and the leadership team as we focus intently on improving the Group’s financial performance, and delivering value to shareholders, while continuing to provide great service to our customers.”
Current CEO Craig Evans will remain available to support Millward and the business as required.
“The Board appreciates the contribution Craig has made as CEO and his availability to support Paul in the coming months,” said Raue.
Recruitment of a permanent CEO has been paused while the turnaround programme is underway.”
