Addison Lee has appointed Patrick Gallagher (pictured) as chief executive officer.

Gallagher will succeed Liam Griffin, who will be continuing his position as group chief point-to-point mobility officer at Addison Lee’s parent company ComfortDelGro.

Gallagher joined Addison Lee as chief operating officer and board director in March 2020 and has played a pivotal role in the company’s strategic and operational transformation.

Before joining Addison Lee, Gallagher served as chief executive officer at CitySprint Group for almost two decades, which Addison Lee said established him as an entrepreneurial leader through his success in driving multiple strategic acquisitions.

With over 35 years of executive leadership experience, he has led businesses across the UK and North America in the logistics, mobility, healthcare, and retail sectors.

As part of this next phase, Addison Lee aims to bring its UK operations into closer alignment under a single leadership structure.

This includes its London-based businesses alongside its North West operations within CityFleet Networks.

Gallagher will assume responsibility for this expanded UK platform, overseeing operations across London and the North West to support its growth and integration.
