TNT Middle East grows vertical markets business
‘TNT is now servicing these sectors with specialist key account managers who have industry knowledge and a better understanding of our clients’ business,’ said Bryan Moulds, Country General Manager, TNT UAE.
‘This structure is already in place in Europe and the Middle East is now large enough to adopt the same specialised segment strategy. Our dedicated team of specialists will improve order to deliver cycle times and help customers reduce the total supply chain costs.’
TNT Express, the world’s leading business-to-business express delivery company, is growing its vertical markets business by focusing on key Middle East sectors including oil and gas, telecoms, I.T, electronics, banking and retail.
Newly-appointed National Major Account Manager, James Edgeworth, will spearhead the company’s vertical markets division. Edgeworth, who has worked for TNT for over five years in various senior level sales positions, will focus on driving and growing the company’s customer base and market share in its key vertical sectors.
‘By employing people who fully understand the very different requirements of varying industries, we hope to fulfil our clients rising expectations as their number one global logistics provider,’ added Moulds.
‘The new structure will offer high levels of service standards to companies in key sectors that integrate logistics solutions for their primary distribution to numerous destinations around the world. It will improve their overall supply chain processes.’
