Lympne, Kent, UK: James Tinkler is the new site manager of Perishable Movements’ new site at Lympne, Kent.
Tinkler has previous experience as an international planning manager for goods distribution and temperature- controlled logistics. Tinkler will manage 35 staff and report to the directors.
The Lympne site is close to Dover, the Channel Tunnel and outside the scope of the London low emission zone.
Tinkler said, “I’m delighted to be joining PML, whose reputation for excellence is renowned within the industry. I have been impressed by the company’s consistent ability to stay ahead of the curve and flourish, regardless of the challenging conditions that have prevailed over the last 18 months.
“The strong senior management team has a clear vision to ensure the long-term success of the business and I’m pleased to have the opportunity to feature within the planned growth and development of PML. In particular, I am looking forward to being associated with a number of pivotal initiatives with a genuine emphasis on driver welfare – something which has long been lacking in our sector.
“My job is to work with the team to establish PML Kent as the best facility in Kent – or even the UK – thanks to the planned superior driver experience; superb location; extensive transport and trans-shipment solutions and unrivalled customs expertise.”
