Schenker has hired Steve Williams from Panalpina as its airfreight director.
Williams has experience in UK airfreight, and was previously head of airfreight for North West Europe with Panalpina.
Schenker chief Helgi Ingolfsson said: “Having Steve join our UK board will further strengthen our organisation in general and the airfreight division in particular, at an exciting time when we are just about to move to a new and modern facility at London Heathrow.”
