FPS Australia – a founder member of the FPS Group of independent forwarders and consolidators - has appointed Andy Johnson to the newly-created post of Customer Service Manager for its Sydney office.
Johnson’s freight career spans over 24 years in a variety of operations, supply chain, procurement and project management roles, working in the multimodal forwarding and logistics sectors.
Before relocating from the UK to Australia in 2012, Andy worked for IEC Europe - a subsidiary of International Express Co Ltd (Tokyo), one of the largest freight forwarders in the Far East. In his role as its UK Branch Operations & Aviation Security Manager, his responsibilities included managing its air, ocean, perishables, road and warehouse operations.
One of the last assignments Andy handled before arriving in Sydney was procurement, supply chain management and operations at the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, for major broadcasters including the BBC, NHK, TV Asahi, JFC, Japan Broadcasting, and Japan Telecom.
Says FPS Australia Director Sam Aparo: “We welcome Andy to Australia, and to our fast-growing business.
“With his strong track record serving the exacting needs of the international broadcast media sector, and his hands-on knowledge of the industry outside Australia, he will play a key role in further strengthening our customer service function.”
FPS Australia celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year: the company opened its first office, in Sydney, in 1994, and this was also one of the earliest branches in the entire FPS network. In addition to its branch in Melbourne, and recently-opened sales office in Albury, FPS Australia has fellow FPS members in Brisbane and Fremantle.
