At Cannon Logistics, we love to celebrate the achievements of our hard-working staff in the transport industry. 

In this post, we’re shining a spotlight on Joanne Hansen, our Safety and Compliance Officer. Joanne has recently become one of the Directors on the Board for the Transport Women’s Association.

The Transport Women’s Association was founded to give women in the transport industry a voice. It’s an organisation that provides practical support and training for women in the industry and comes up with practical solutions to issues they face.  

We think this is a great achievement. Well done, Jo! 

About Jo: 

Jo Hansen has worked in the transport and logistics industry for over 20 years. Her first role was in warehousing as a stock controller, which is where her passion for the transport industry began. She then moved into the safety and compliance manager position specialising in dangerous goods.

She then decided to complete her Master’s Degree in Occupational Health Safety and Environmental Management, and graduated in 2005.

Jo is passionate about safety and compliance within the transport industry and is also passionate about encouraging and mentoring women within the industry. This makes her well-suited to her current role as our Safety and Compliance officer at Cannon Logistics.
