So I am delighted he will be leading all our UK logistics activity, as I am confident Jonathan's drive and skillset will prove highly valuable."

Commenting on his appointment, Jonathan Wright, said, "Xpediator has doubled in size over the last two years and has clearly set out its stall to continue on a similar trajectory.
