Last week we said a sad farewell to Mark Jones (left), who has held the role of GT Couriers Transport Manager for the last five years. The lucky man is moving on to a life full of nonstop golf, wine and DIY! Stepping up to the plate and taking over Mark’s role is Ray Elliot (right), who’s been learning the ropes in the GT operations office since May 2018. Good luck to both Mark and Ray as they embark on a new chapter in their lives!
