Tradesman from Coventry appointed Transport Director

A COVENTRY tradesman has drawn on the skills of a former army logistics professional and promoted best practice across a multi-billion pound construction industry supply chain.

The BMF (Merchant Builders Federation) has appointed Alan Harvey, Group Transport Director for Harlow Timber Group, as Sector Chair of its Transport and Distribution Forum.

This comes ahead of Armed Forces Week, which takes place between 24 and 29 June – showing support for those who make up the armed forces community.

Alan, who left the Royal Army Logistics Corps in 2018, had a 25-year career in the forces – he was Chief of Fleet for the British Army in London and the surrounding areas, where he led logistics policy and trained over 164 locations and 2,000 vehicles.

Alan was also the British Army’s Transport Director for the London Olympics, responsible for fleet optimization and road safety, as well as Transport Adviser for Royal Parades and State Events and Military Transport Director for the Mayor’s Annual Show from the capital.

Alan said: “As we approach Armed Forces Week, it is a great opportunity to reflect on the incredible opportunities and skills I have developed in the military and how well they have been received and regarded by my employer, the BMF and the wider supply of building materials. section.
