Tom Ashley Appointed CEO of ILG and GFS, Marking a New Chapter in E-Commerce Fulfilment and Delivery
– ILG (International Logistics Group), a leading UK-based fulfilment and delivery specialist, and Global Freight Solutions (GFS), a pioneer in Enterprise Carrier Management (ECM), today announced the appointment of Tom Ashley as Chief Executive Officer of both ILG and GFS.
The appointment follows ILG’s 2024 acquisition of GFS, bringing together two industry leaders in e-commerce fulfilment and multi-carrier delivery technology. The move signals a bold new chapter in uniting fulfilment and delivery innovation for fast-growing and established retail brands across beauty, fashion, and beyond.
Tom Ashley, who has spent more than 15 years at ILG across senior roles in Sales, Client Services, Commercial, IT and Operations, before serving as Managing Director, takes on the CEO role with a clear vision for growth.
“As CEO, I’m truly excited about the opportunity to bring together the strengths of ILG and GFS,” said Tom Ashley. “Together, we will continue to invest in our teams, our customers and the technology that powers our growth – while building on the culture and values that make both businesses special. I’d like to thank our teams across ILG and GFS for their dedication and passion – none of this would be possible without you.”
Under Ashley’s leadership, ILG and GFS will focus on delivering seamless end-to-end solutions for retail and ecommerce clients – from high-touch fulfilment for luxury beauty and fashion brands to cutting-edge multi-carrier delivery technology. A newly aligned leadership team will drive international expansion, operational innovation, and enhanced customer experience.
