TNS Logistics has confirmed the appointment of a new Operations Manager.
The Brisbane-based port logistics and supply chain specialist announced Michael Hansen had officially joined its team last week.
Hansen, who brings a formidable background to the role, was previously at South East Queensland Hauliers.
He has been involved in high-performing logistics environments for a decade.
Before SEQH he worked at Lindsay Australia, where he held various leadership positions in operations and logistics.
Regarded as a strong cultural and strategic fit for TNS, Hansen offers a fresh, dynamic leadership style according to Matthew Norton, TNS Logistics Co-Director.
“His ability to identify operational improvements, build high-performing teams, and align with our values of innovation and continuous improvement makes him an ideal choice as we continue to scale,” he told Prime Mover.
“Michael is a major addition to the TNS team because he brings the right mix of operational rigour, leadership experience, and forward-thinking. He doesn’t just manage systems — he improves them. With his track record and mindset, he’s going to play a huge part in lifting our performance to the next level.”
The appointment comes during a pivotal stage of growth for TNS Logistics as the business expands its capacity and capabilities.
“Over the past two years, we’ve doubled in size, and our goal is to continue that trajectory—particularly in warehousing and transport, ” said Norton.
“Our vision is to become a true one-stop shop for our clients. Michael’s appointment aligns perfectly with that strategy. His deep knowledge of heavy haulage, AQIS services, and underbond operations adds real strength to our offering and supports the next phase of our expansion.
“He brings the operational excellence we need, without losing sight of the people-first culture that defines TNS. Michael ticks every box.”
Hansen said he was thrilled at the prospect of the role and what it could do for TNS Logistics.
“I’m hoping to bring a fresh set of eyes to the business and add value to the TNS brand with the skills and experience I’ve gained in previous roles,” he told Prime Mover.
“The opportunity at TNS is exciting — it’s a new role that allows me to grow, and in turn help others at TNS grow. The future is looking very exciting for both myself and the business.”
It’s been a big week for the company.
Hansen’s induction also coincides with the arrival of a new top of the range MAN TGX Lion S.
A showcase item at the recent Brisbane Truck Show, the 640hp prime mover is the latest addition in the rapidly growing fleet.
