Theo de Pencier has been named as chief executive officer of the Freight Transport Association.
De Pencier has more than 20 years' experience in the logistics and supply chain industry and is currently chief executive of logistics group Bibby Distribution and a director of its parent company, Bibby Line Group.
His early career was spent in sales and marketing with Heinz and Diageo.
"I have had a terrific eight years at Bibby, helping to grow the distribution business into a leading player and being part of a successful private, family owned group," said de Pencier.
"However, the opportunity to join FTA and develop further its industry leadership in terms of representation and services to members was too good to miss. I am looking forward enormously to taking up the reins."
He starts his new role in July and will replace Richard Turner. "We are excited about adding Theo's skills to the FTA team," said John Russell, FT A president.
