Lorrain will continue to be based in Houston, Texas in the near term.

Michael O’Donoghue joined CEVA in 2010 following a 25 year career in the freight and logistics industry which included senior management positions in both Contract Logistics and Freight Management for other major players such as DHL and Excel.  Under his leadership, the UK, Ireland and Nordics has developed into a very strong cluster, winning a number of blue chip customers with a strong focus on operational excellence and customer service.
