BENELUX RESTRUCTURE FOR INCHCAPE SHIPPING SERVICES

 

 

Inchcape Shipping Services is exploiting synergies between their operations in Belgium and Holland by unifying the management team.

 

Patrick Van Huffelen will take over as General Manager Benelux responsible for the company’s Marine Services whilst Ron Meuldijk, reporting to Van Huffelen, is appointed General Manager, Commercial for Benelux, both appointments effective 1 September.

 

Under the new arrangement ISS Belgium and ISS Holland will otherwise remain as they are in terms of staff and organisation. ISS subsidiary Vessel Support Services will come under Meuldjik’s remit.

 

ISS has offices in Antwerp, Zeebrugge, Rotterdam and Amsterdam, providing full coverage of all ports in the two countries.

 

“Our businesses in Belgium and the Netherlands operate in very similar markets and share many costumers and work practices,” said Senior Vice President, Europe, Lars Rosenkrands. “And there is a long track record of cooperation between the ISS offices in each country, not least in leveraging client relationships between the two entities.

 

“We expect this new unified management structure to facilitate the sharing of best practice in our service delivery and ensure the continued improvement of our business processes as well as the accelerated growth of new business.”
