Pall-Ex appoints owned operations director
Pall-Ex has appointed a new owned operations director following its recent acquisition in Cranleigh, Surrey, UK. Colin Hawkins has been promoted to the newly created position and will oversee all Pall-Ex’s owned operation depots including: Cranleigh Distribution Services, Pall-Ex London, Cornwall-based Intercounty Distribution and Shears Bros (Transport) in Bournemouth, as well as sitting on the UK operating board.
Hawkins previously held the role of general manager at Shears, which was purchased by Pall-Ex in 2017, and brings 30 years of logistics industry experience to the position.
He comments: “I’m delighted to take up this new role and am looking forward to growing the Pall-Ex name and reputation in the south of England. It has been a testing time for everyone working within the haulage industry and keeping essential goods on the move remains our number one focus at this time." (mw)
