Cole Bradley, CEO, C & W Transportation

I’m thrilled for the opportunity to lead C & W forward on such an exciting growth trajectory. We are excited for what’s on the Horizon for C & W and especially its customers and staff. By bringing C & W’s exceptional service record together with some new systems and resources, we will be expanding into new markets, new modes and new service offerings to add to the already strong C & W platform.” - Cole Bradley, CEO, C & W Transportation

C & W Transportation has tapped Cole Bradley as CEO. A 2007 business graduate of Butler University, Bradley worked for the Indianapolis trucking giant Celadon for more than eight years, most recently as Vice President of International Business.

Utilizing his extensive network of national and international relationships, Bradley will execute C & W’s pragmatic growth strategy backed by investment capital from equity partner Platform Capital. The Denver equity firm acquired the Fort Collins-based transportation company in 2018.

C & W has built strong, lasting and loyal relationships with satisfied customers along the I-25 corridor over four decades. Under Bradley’s leadership, the recapitalized company is now poised to expand into territories beyond the Rocky Mountain Region.

“I’m thrilled for the opportunity to lead C & W forward on such an exciting growth trajectory,” stated Bradley. “We are excited for what’s on the Horizon for C & W and especially its customers and staff. By bringing C & W’s exceptional service record together with some new systems and resources, we will be expanding into new markets, new modes and new service offerings to add to the already strong C&W platform.”

“Recruiting a high-profile superstar like Cole Bradley marks the beginning of another exciting chapter for C & W Transportation,” said Jake Walker, Partner at Platform Capital. Through continued investment in infrastructure and acquisitions, along with Bradley’s visionary leadership, Walker expects C & W to capture increasing market share while the industry rebounds from a sharp downturn experienced in 2019.
