Tasman Logistics Services CEO and Managing Director has signalled his exit from the business.
In a shock announcement today, Ivan Vanis confirmed he would be leaving the company after 16 years.
”I have decided it’s time for a new challenge and have exited the business,“ he said.
“My time at Tasman has been amazing in building a great business backed by a sensational team,“ he said.
“I have learnt a lot over this time and am proud of what I’ve achieved in conjunction with great people.“
The company now employs 800 staff but Vanis was one of only 15 when he began in 2009 in a small depot in Brooklyn.
Today it has 17 facilities around the country, over 200 company-owned trucks and some 600 trailers.
The business has been propelled in recent years by seismic growth including several strategic acquisitions, dozens of new A-doubles and significant moves in the cold chain segment with significant expansion in Queensland.
Vanis, 39, on a Linkedin post said the time was right to move on.
”Thank you to the amazing team at Tasman for the support over the years and allowing me to push them to their limits to be their best,“ he said.
In addition to spending some quality time with his family he was also going to pursue other opportunities.
