ASK A PROFESSIONAL celebrated his diamond work anniversary and he has lost none of his enthusiasm for the business that he had when he started - he’s in the o ce by 8am and stays up to date with what’s happening within the industry. His career journey has featured many challenges - recessions, strikes, the nancial battle to buy back the company a er it had been bought as a plc subsidiary by Pirelli - but he is proud that Meachers has become one of the UK’s leading independent providers of international freight and transport logistics services. Bob is happy that the company still maintains a family feel. Two of his sons work at Meachers - Stuart is Managing Director and Jamie is Fleet Director. In addition, there are Directors Noel Fensome (Finance), Gary Whittle (Commercial) and Rob Lewis (International Operations). He said: “My sons and all my Board Directors have been with Meachers for more than 20 years and we’ve all grown together. We get on well, enjoy work and all pull in the same direction - which is critical.” Jamie Terris said: “My father’s passion, dedication, honesty and work ethic has led to an incredible 60 year career, in which he has built an extremely successful company and overcome many difficult challenges. To work with my family is an honour but to have him as my Dad is an absolute privilege.” Stuart Terris said: “Having received all the nurturing, mentoring and support that would help shape both my management style and my ability to run the business from Dad, the biggest compliment I can pay him is that he knew exactly when to empower and elevate the responsibility of the management team below him, including myself. He has given the benefit of all the experience accumulated over his 60 years with the business, and has supported every decision we have made as if it were his own.” When Bob stops to relax, he enjoys playing golf and watching sport, especially football and cricket - he’s Honorary Vice President of Hampshire Cricket. He enjoys gardening at his home in rural Hampshire and spending time with his wife Josie and their family.
