Top changes at Safcor Panalpina

FOLLOWING THE incorporation of Renfreight into Safcor Panalpina in January this year, Pete Williams has been appointed managing director to assist chairman Philip Womersley.
Williams, who takes up his new position on July 1, has been with Safcor Panalpina for four and a half years. He was previously national seafreight executive.
He sees his primary role in driving the process of forming a unified and cohesive culture and workforce. "From a statutory and admin process, we have largely completed the integration process but there is still a lot of work to do," he told FTW.
He will also focus on continued product development.
