GB Railfreight has announced that it has appointed Liam Day as Commercial Director, and will take on the new role this week.

Liam is currently Head of Contracts at GB Railfreight.

Liam joined GBRf in 2014 as Terminal Development Manager. Following a short spell as Head of Estates, Liam moved to the position of Business Manager in the Commercial Department in 2016.

Liam will be replacing Lee Armstrong, who is joining Associated British Ports (ABP).

What did the officials say?

John Smith, Managing Director GBRf, said:

“I am absolutely delighted to appoint Liam Day to the post of Commercial Director. Liam has played a key role in securing long term contracts with Cemex, Hanson Aggregates and Hanson Cement whilst expanding GBRf’s bulk portfolio to its current worth of circa £75m per annum.

“As a business we are entering an exciting time and I will be working closely with Liam as we continue to grow.

“I’d like to thank Lee for his hard work and wish him all the very best for the future.”

Liam Day said:

“I am extremely proud to be appointed as GB Railfreight’s Commercial Director. Since I joined GB Railfreight in 2014, we have experienced huge growth and I have been very fortunate to work with both long standing and new customers to develop rail freight solutions that meet their needs. I am passionate about ensuring the service we offer is industry leading and will be focused on working with our customers to remove cost and inefficiency from their supply chains to ensure GB Railfreight continues to offer a viable logistics solution for years to come.

“There are a number of exciting challenges ahead. None bigger than helping to deliver the game changing infrastructure project that is HS2. It is an exciting time to be involved in the rail freight industry and there is no business better placed to step up to the challenge.

“I am focused on making GB Railfreight greener and leaner and building on our legacy as a people focused business that goes the extra mile for our customers.”
