C.R. England Announces Leadership Changes

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- C.R. England, a Salt Lake City-based global transportation provider, has announced two key changes to the leadership of the company.

Zach England has been named Vice President of Dedicated.  In this role, he has responsibility for more than 1150 trucks and 1500 employees which creates over 20 percent of the company's revenue and services some of C.R. England's largest clients.  Mr. England started full-time in 2004 with England Logistics, a third-party logistics company and wholly owned subsidiary of C.R.

England became the first major U.S. provider of refrigerated containers.

Coby Bullard has been named Vice President of Intermodal.  Prior to joining C. R. England, Mr. Bullard worked for BNSF Railway His significant roles there included Sr. Market Manager, Director of Operations Support, and Director of Domestic Intermodal, where he led all sales and marketing functions for BNSF's Temperature Controlled Intermodal and Expedited Truckload business units.  In 2011, he was named Director of International Customer Support and was responsible for all post-sales logistics and support functions for BNSF's $3B International Business Unit.  Mr. Bullard will now oversee all components of C.R. England's Intermodal offering as it solidifies itself as the refrigerated market leader.

"Today's leadership announcements are significant as they indicate a continued commitment to strengthening the leadership of the company with a broad base of capable and talented individuals," said Chad England, COO.
