TFI Group chairman Peter Franks is taking a long leave of absence from the agency due to serious ill health.
Sanjay Patel, formerly TFI’s financial director, takes on the role of CEO with immediate effect. He said: “Obviously the whole agency – and Peter’s many colleagues in the industry – wish him well. My ambition is to continue Peter’s vision of a unified business and the steady growth of a 34 -year old company – and to build on an already strong platform.”
