CEO, Mark McGinley, Departs CouriersPlease

He will now take up the position of CEO for Freightlancer, which is the freight division of the crowdsourcing marketplace, Freelancer.

Of the new role, McGinley expressed his excitement for the new role in the world’s largest freelancing marketplace. “This is an exciting opportunity for me to work with a dynamic and vibrant company led by the inspirational MattBarrie,” he said.

McGinley worked as CEO of CouriersPlease for five years but has been in the company for close to two decades. “Last-mile e-commerce logistics is a tough and unforgiving industry but it is also one of the most collaborative and exciting industries to work in,” McGinley said of his role at CouriersPlease.

“I want to thank the entire CP team and franchisees (past and present) for all their guidance, support, hard work but most important of all, their friendship over the past 18 years.”

McGinley was praised by the CouriersPlease team for his efforts over the last 18 years, highlighting the integration of new technologies and “leading the massive expansion of our network, our people and our depots.”

“Thanks to Mark’s leadership and vision, CP has won six major industry awards since early 2020,” a statement from the company read.

CouriersPlease is expected to announce a new CEO soon.
