LINX Cargo Care Group has announced that its Chief Executive Officer Anthony Jones has resigned from his position after five years.
Jones joined the Patrick business, now LINX, around 23 years ago on the wharf at Port Botany in NSW. During his tenure, he has been a valued leader who was instrumental in the establishment of LINX following the separation from Asciano in 2016.
Since the Group’s formation, he has led the expansion and positive promotion of LINX CCG businesses and its people.
LINX said that through changing and challenging market conditions and now an unprecedented global pandemic, he has delivered great outcomes for the Group, its customers and stakeholders, including bringing a strong and active voice when contributing to industry, market and wider stakeholder forums and discussions.
Jones shared his sadness to leave the business and people who were formative in his career to date however, reaffirmed his belief in the positive future ahead for LINX CCG.
“To move on from LINX Cargo Care Group was a difficult decision to make, especially after investing my career over the last 23 years with the then Patrick business and now LINX Cargo Care Group,” he said.
“However, I know I leave LINX Cargo Care Group in a sound position and continue to stand by my long-term, genuine belief in the Group’s people and its future in Australia and New Zealand’s logistics supply chain industries,” he concluded.
Brookfield Managing Partner, Patrick Boocock, has been appointed to replace Jones as the Group’s CEO.
To ensure a smooth transition to the role, Boocock joined LINX CCG on 1 July and has commenced working closely with Jones and the LINX Cargo Care Group Senior Leadership Team.
Boocock has been with Brookfield since 2009 and has led businesses on behalf of Brookfield previously, including CEO of The Australian AET&D group in Perth, Global CFO of Multiplex and most recently leading and expanding Brookfield’s asset management platform in Asia.
He comes to the role with significant experience in growing, scaling and transforming businesses and working collaboratively to achieve shared objectives.
