Fresh produce sourcing and logistics company CH Robinson has announced that Gary York has been promoted to the position of director of sourcing for Europe at CH Robinson Worldwide.
According to the company, the personnel move has been driven by increasing demand in Europe for a global supply of fresh fruits and vegetables.
In the newly created position, York will be tasked with establishing the overall team and resources that will facilitate the further development and expansion of fresh produce sourcing in Europe, while also looking to other regions of the world to develop alternative supply programmes.
“Gary’s long-term track record of success and overall knowledge of the global produce supply chain will deliver value to our customers and suppliers, while at the same time, allowing us to develop new business and expand our European sourcing team,” said Jim Lemke, senior vice-president at CH Robinson.
