All-electric courier company Packfleet has announced the appointment of Robert Collings as chief financial officer.
Collings, who is being promoted from his previous role of head of finance, has more than a decade of experience in the accounting industry, and recently supported the business through a Series A fundraiser which saw it secure over £8million from General Catalyst and Voyager Ventures.
Collings said: “It’s been an incredible journey since I first started working at Packfleet back in 2022, and it’s great to be stepping up into the role of CFO.
“Startups are an amazing place to garner experience, and after supporting the business through our Series A fundraiser and the start of our nationwide expansion, I’m excited to continue the journey.
“Packfleet is doing great work in the logistics sector, and is driving real industry change, and I’m proud to be at the forefront.”
Packfleet CEO Tristan Thomas said: “It’s been a pleasure having Rob as our head of finance for the past 18 months.
“Post-fundraise, we’re entering a pivotal phase of growth, and it’s vital that we have a trusted member of the team ensuring we’re spending that money in the right way.
“A year and a half ago, his experience made him a perfect fit for Packfleet. Now, it’s only natural that he becomes our CFO.”
