Kerry Logistics Network has acted upon the opportunity to grow its share in the UK energy project market and responded by bringing in experience. The company has appointed an industry veteran Keith Sinclair as UK Industrial Projects Director. 

Based in Aberdeen, the new role strengthens Kerry’s team of project cargo experts and ensures it is ready to support customers regionally and globally, the company said.

“Kerry prides itself on expanding its operations strategically to ensure it is in full readiness to support future demand in growing markets,” said Dave Gaughan, Managing Director, Kerry UK. “Keith brings a wealth of industry experience to our team and with his extensive industry connections in the oil and gas sector I am confident that he will drive our presence in the developing North Sea energy and renewables market.”

Sinclair is a seasoned industry professional with over 18 years of experience in the global logistics and forwarding sector, specialising in energy and industrial projects.

“Aberdeen is a key hub in the energy sector, and my new role ensures that clients receive a local service that leverages Kerry’s strong network comprising 500 project specialists around the globe,” said Keith Sinclair, following his appointment. “Our network supports customers from end to end of their supply chains, and I look forward to bringing this service to more customers across Asia, Oceania, the United Arab Emirates, North America, and Europe.”

The move strengthens the forwarder’s existing regional teams, which operate from eight offices across the UK, strategically positioned to assist clients with local expertise and market insights.
