David Wells

Logistics UK - United Kingdom

David Wells, chief executive of industry body Logistics UK, has stepped down from the role he has held since early 2015.

Wells joined Logistics UK in 2009 as finance director and in the decade he has served as chief executive, has made significant changes to the organisation including an organisational rebrand from the Freight Transport Association, and has overseen growth in member numbers to historic levels.

“Ten years at the helm of this fantastic organisation serving an amazing industry have flown by,” Well says. “At some point it is right to hand the baton to the next leader to take the organisation forward with fresh ideas and energy.

“We’ve made great progress in the last 10 years, but there is still a great deal to do and I’m sure the next leader will enjoy and rise to the challenge”.

The search for Wells’ replacement is underway.

Multinational asset finance platform PEAC Solutions, a name well-known within the US materials handling space, has announced the retirement of senior vice president Tibor Horvath from his full-time role as the global lead in the Construction, Transportation, and Industrial (CT&I) Division.

He will now start a role as a consultant with PEAC where he will focus on the materials handling and forklift business sector.

PEAC’s global CEO, Bill Stephenson, says Horvath’s “knowledge, leadership, and strong work ethic have played a crucial role in establishing PEAC Solutions as a leader”.

Horvath joined PEAC in 2022 during a time of strategic expansion and, under his leadership, grew the business from USD125 million in volume in 2022 to USD340 million in 2025.
