Beacon goes Hong Kong
The British company Beacon is expanding into Asia. Besides doubling the size of its team, the digital freight forwarder has launched its first physical presence in Asia by opening a new office in Hong Kong.
Since March, Beacon’s headcount has increased from 35 to 75, while also achieving a ratio of 40% women employees.
Beacon counts Jeff Bezos from Amazon among its investors. James Yu, previously logistics programme manager at Uber in Hong Kong, has been appointed ocean procurement lead, HK, based in the new Hong Kong office. Asia–Europe is Beacon’s biggest trade lane so far. (cd)
