Van Doorn will be responsible for driving the company’s premium road freight business in Germany, the biggest European market for automotive logistics.

With an extensive career spanning almost 15 years managing key accounts in Germany, Slovakia and Luxembourg, van Doorn will now head up the 20-strong team of logistics experts in Krefeld.
