From discard pile to royal flush in the space of twelve months

摘要

Even on a right royal guest list headed by HRH Prince Andrew, Duke of York, no less, one speaker's name stood out at the official opening last month of MAN ERF UK's expanded and refurbished Swindon headquarters: Glyn Davies. Mr Davies is chairman of Hanbury Davies, the fast-growing Felixstowe, Suffolk-based truck operator he established in 1999 and which now lays claim to being one of the largest privately-owned distribution and logistics companies in East Anglia. This is the same Glyn Davies who made his name and fortune playing a pivotal role in building up the Russell Davies transport group to the point where Securicor was prepared to hand over a cool ￡70 million to acquire it ten years ago.
