Brambles Forms USA Advisory Board

Sydney-based Brambles Ltd., the parent company of Atlanta-based Recall, has announced that it has created the Brambles USA Advisory Board.

Brambles operates Recall, which manages the secure storage, retrieval and destruction of physical and digital information for nearly 80,000 customers worldwide, and CHEP, which issues, collects, repairs and reissues about 300 million pallets and containers.

The company also has appointed Rodney Slater, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, and John Claringbould, a former member of the executive leadership team of the consumer goods firm Mars, to its newly established board.

In a release announcing the move, Graham Kraehe, Brambles chairman, says, “The formation of this advisory board and the appointment of these two outstanding individuals will assist the board as it develops Brambles’ strategic direction and reflects our commitment to strengthening our stakeholder relationships as we expand in the USA.”

The advisory board’s role includes assisting Brambles in developing and managing customer relationships, identifying and developing new opportunities, engaging in government policy in the United States and developing a more innovative culture.
