with Jonathan for the past 5 years, I have seen first-hand the
sector knowledge and business development capabilities he brings.
So I am delighted he will be leading all our UK logistics activity,
as I am confident Jonathan's drive and skillset will prove highly
valuable."
Commenting on his appointment, Jonathan Wright, said, "Xpediator
has doubled in size over the last two years and has clearly set out
its stall to continue on a similar trajectory. I am therefore
looking forward to working with the teams as the Group develops
into one of Europe's leading industry players."
