TNT Express is growing its vertical markets business by focusing on key Middle East sectors including oil and gas, telecoms, IT, 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. ‘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 today announced that it is investing USD810,000 in new facilities in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain (UAE) to establish closer links with its customers and provide them with a greater variety of products. The facilities – to open by the end of the year – are a direct response to TNT’s growth in the Emirates region, as Abu Dhabi in particular, strives to expand at the same rate as Dubai. With the high street outlet in Al Ain offering a full range of products, services and sales staff to provide assistance, the aim is also to serve the increasing needs of our customers. “Many of TNT’s regular customers operate from branches in Al Ain, so this new office will facilitate better communications, performance and delivery,” said Mark Pell, TNT Managing Director, Gulf. “Historically we have serviced Al Ain from Dubai but now we are looking to provide local resources to this market. TNT’s new outlet will establish the company’s presence in Al Ain and will be followed by additional facilities over the next twelve months”, continued Pell.
