Roberts appointed to top TNT job in Kuwait
- Kuwait: Thursday, March 18 - 2004 at 12:11
- PRESS RELEASE
TNT, the leading express freight provider, has telegraphed big plans for Kuwait with the appointment of highly-regarded executive Ben Roberts as Country Manager.
Roberts, a Briton, comes to Kuwait after running TNT's Abu Dhabi operation where he presided over a sales increase of a record-breaking 22 per cent in two years.
In Kuwait, TNT is opening the doors any day now of a huge new depot in the Future Zone at Shweikah Port. Kuwait has also been linked to TNT's road service, Economy Express, which will be Gulf-wide when Muscat joins in later this year.
Economy Express, a massive trucking operation, has been a windfall for TNT. The integrator is basking in record profits, yield and volume in the region and Economy Express and the big rigs have played a major role.
Roberts says: "The expanded road network will be tremendous for Kuwait. It stands to reason, of course, that the new depot and road service will also play a role in Iraq, to Baghdad, Basra and beyond.
"We are the world's leading B2B company so we've got a lot to offer. We've invested heavily in our people, technology, services and facilities.
"Kuwait is a hugely important market. We have unswerving commitment to it."
