Kinaxia Logistics has created a new role of national sales director to leverage its full-service offering and nationwide infrastructure to secure new business across its transport, warehousing and distribution portfolio.
Jane Cooper has been promoted to the post from her role as Kinaxia’s regional director for southern England.
Her new position sees her lead the sales and business development teams to grow Kinaxia’s commercial pipeline, expand its customer base and strengthen client relationships.
Kinaxia’s chief commercial officer Mark Tabor said: “Jane has a vast amount of logistics and transport industry experience, a very positive attitude, and takes a proactive approach to sales development.
“She is the ideal person to fill this new role as the sales team targets the north west and the Midlands as a priority for growth. In both regions there are exciting commercial opportunities which are aligned to our end-to-end logistics services and can benefit from our reputation for delivering local market excellence.”
Jane has worked at Kinaxia for nine years and has risen through the ranks after joining as an account manager at Lambert Brothers in Eastleigh, which the company had acquired. Before joining Kinaxia, she held roles at TNT and Nightfreight.
She said: “I’m really excited to be appointed to this new role and to playing my part in supporting and developing Kinaxia’s growth strategy.
“As a company, we are committed to getting closer to our clients, building customer relationships and providing end-to-end logistics solutions tailored to their needs. The experience and knowledge of our national sales team will be crucial as we pursue these objectives.
“At the same time, we are making greater use of AI and business intelligence to create and drive business development and commercial opportunities.”
Jane added: “A key pillar of our business development strategy is to use technology and sustainability to help our customers decarbonise their supply chains, and we look forward to assisting them towards their goals.
“Aligned with this, our focus on contract logistics and on offering more on-demand warehousing services, providing businesses with variable volumes with flexibility and agility to scale storage up and down, means we are well-placed to take advantage of the many commercial opportunities emerging in the marketplace.”
Kinaxia, which has its headquarters in Macclesfield, Cheshire, has 1,600 staff nationwide and operates a fleet of 1,000 vehicles transporting goods for the retail, leisure, food and drink and manufacturing sectors. Its national network of hubs provides a full source-to-shelf logistics service.
