Insurance provider to the freight and logistics industry TT Club has announced three new members of its board, drawn from its insured organisations.

TT Club’s board, the Transport Mutual Insurance Association (TTB) is made up of representatives of those it insures and the three new non-executive members were announced at the TTB meeting in Rome this week. They represent freight, logistics, cargo handling and intermodal container operators from around the world. 

Wendy Chien, MD contract logistics at Dimerco Express Group in Taipei, brings experience of pan Asia-Pacific logistics, warehousing and distribution. 

Frans Caljé is CEO of PD Ports in Teesside, UK, well known for its port-centric logistics. Prior to his appointment as CEO seven years ago, he was MD of unitised & port centric logistics, and also has experience at container terminal operator APM. 

Nosiphesihle Mbongwa is based in Durban, South Africa, and has been CFO of Bidvest Freight for the past six years. She previously served the freight management and logistics group for 10 years as its commercial director, and prior to that a financial director role at one of its subsidiary companies. 

TT Club CEO Charles Fenton, commented: “Our structure means that every member can input into the key decisions we make about the types of risk we underwrite and our strategic direction. 

“Appointments to the board are recommended to the membership, who have voting rights, by the nominations committee, which seeks to increase gender and ethnic diversity, mirroring as closely as possible the underlying membership of TT Club.

“I’m pleased that our commitment to this diversity continues to be represented in TT’s governance.”
