Safmarine has announced the appointment of three experienced employees as senior members of its newly-established Safmarine commercial team, which will be headed up by new CEO Grant Daly.
Nick Gough, currently Safmarine's strategic sales and key accounts director based in Antwerp, has assumed the role of global key account director based in Copenhagen, while Stephen Knight takes on the position of global sales director, vacating his current spot as the group's Middle East and North Africa regional executive.
Russell Gillespie, currently Safmarine's Antwerp-based customer insight director, is the company's new global access and experience director, responsible for branding, PR and communications, corporate social responsibility and a number of customer intelligence and segmentation initiatives.
'Safmarine's customers have always told us that it is our people who make the difference and I am delighted that three experienced Safmariners have accepted this exciting new challenge to ensure that the Safmarine difference thrives and prospers,' said Daly. 'As a team, we are committed to supporting the Safmariners around the world to deliver on their promise of being the people 'making the difference' in shipping.'
