Palletways Group appoints new UK Managing Director
The Palletways Group today announces the strengthening of its UK management team with the appointment of Luis Zubialde as UK Managing Director. This is a new position, which complements the senior management team Palletways already has in place in the UK. Julian Maturi will continue in his role as UK Chairman and Martyn Young as Managing Director of Palletways UK Member Network.
Palletways, which celebrates 20 years in business in 2014, has continued to grow market share in the UK in recent years despite the challenging economic climate. Zubialde will use his wealth of experience to play a key role in continuing the development of the UK business.
Commenting on the appointment, Group Chief Executive, James Wilson said,
“Luis has led our business in Iberia for the last seven years, during which time he has spearheaded its rapid growth and development from a start-up operation to a well-established network with 59 members and two hub operations in Madrid and Zaragoza.
“Above all the appointment supports our strategic objective to be the European Pallet Network of natural choice for the distribution of palletised express freight.”
Zubialde will take up his new position shortly, but in the interim will continue as Managing Director of Palletways Iberia until a successor is appointed.
