DHL Express Bahrain head moves to Saudi

DHL Express Bahrain yesterday announced the redeployment of its top brass to boost operations in the Kingdom and Saudi Arabia.

Nour Suliman, its Bahrain Country Manager for six years with 29 years experience with the express and logistics provider, has been made the Country Manager for its operations in Saudi Arabia.

Mark Benton, DHL’s Country Manager for Oman, replaces Nour Suliman at DHL Express Bahrain. Mark has been with DHL since 2000 when he joined DHL Express New Zealand as National Operations Manager. After three years, Mark moved to SNAS/DHL Saudi Arabia as National Operations Manager based in Al Khobar. In April 2006, he was given the Oman posting.

Suliman and Benton’s promotions come as part of DHL’s continuous plan for expanding and growing the business in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, said Dave Spargo, Regional Area Director for DHL Middle East. Saudi Arabia is considered the biggest logistics market in the Middle East, and Bahrain is strategically important, as the location for the company’s regional hub, as well as a local market continuing to offer growth in the express freight and logistics business.
