James Schofield has been appointed to the dispatch team, having previously worked in haulage, while Anna Konarska, having previously worked for Hermes ParcelNet, joins the traffic and administration team.
Having worked for the Bedfords Group for the last seven years as a dispatch planner and supervisor, Alan Tranters has been promoted to assistant transport manager, where his main role will be to improve on traffic and dispatch operations.
Bedfords posted a 33% rise in profits last year, secured a five-year contract with the Daily Mail and recently completed the acquisition of RPL Transport.
