German freight forwarder Rhenus has appointed Scott Dudley (above) as managing director of Air & Ocean operations in the UK.
Mr Dudley brings almost 20 years of logistics and supply chain experience to the role. He first joined Rhenus in 2019 and has held several leadership positions across Germany, the US and the UK, including branch manager, air & ocean in Germany and head of ocean freight for North America.
Before joining Rhenus, he spent 10 years with DHL Global Forwarding, where he held a variety of operational and commercial roles in Germany, the US and Hong Kong.
“Scott brings a wealth of experience from across Rhenus and the wider logistics industry. Throughout his career, he has built strong teams and delivered growth in a range of international markets,” Alberto Martinez, regional director Europe at Rhenus, said.
The appointment comes as the company rolls out its wider One Rhenus strategy, with investments in technology, automation and improved shipment visibility, as well as “significant opportunities to strengthen its support for small and medium-sized businesses while continuing to develop its offering for larger international customers”.
“The UK is an important market for Rhenus and a key part of our ambitions across Europe. Scott’s focus will be on building the capabilities, structure and customer offering needed to support the next stage of growth for the business,” Mr Martinez added.
