Andy Ahern of Ahern and Associates Announces Completion of Two Consulting Assignments; Hiring Third

Dec. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Phoenix, AZ--Ahern and Associates, Ltd., the nation’s leading transportation acquisition and consulting firm, has recently accepted a new consulting assignment in addition to completing two jobs which showcase Ahern’s ability to not only complete acquisition deals, but also aid billion dollar companies in streamlining operations.

Ahern and Associates was recently hired by a 2 billion dollar shipper who wished to penetrate a new market, but lacked a concentrated distribution system.  Over several months, Ahern was able to locate the perfect logistics partner for the client and completely consolidate all freight through one primary source, allowing the client to efficiently enter the marketplace.

This fall Ahern was hired to remodel the entire business plan for a logistics and freight broker north of the border.  Through the work of Ahern’s consultants who are primarily comprised of ex-presidents and CEO’s of trucking companies, Ahern was able to assemble a complete five year business plan designed to increase overall revenue by at least 100MM.

Adding to their web-based Client Acquisition Board which announces open needs for trucking acquisition clients, Ahern has been hired to locate a freight brokerage company based in either Kansas or Missouri utilizing intermodal and refrigerated freight brokers.
Andy Ahern, CEO of Ahern and Associates, comments on his firms latest accomplishments, “We’re well known for bringing together sellers and buyers within the transportation industry, but these recent assignments display how we are able to work with billion dollar companies and add real value.”
