“Throughout my career at XPO Logistics, I have had a diverse range of opportunities to progress, learn and develop,” said Mr Thomason. “In addition to my personal achievements, this award acknowledges the support and encouragement of the company that has invested in me along the way. I’m looking forward to the challenge of representing XPO Logistics and the UK at the GCCA final in the U.S.”
