New Managing Director for DB Schenker Logistics in the UK

DB Schenker has announced the appointment of Helgi Ingolfsson as its new UK Managing Director with effect from 1st February 2012.  Replacing Jochen Muller who has moved back to Germany to a position within Schenker Deutschland AG, Ingolfsson joins Schenker Limited from the group’s Swedish operation.

Icelandic by birth and having spent most of his working career in Sweden, Ingolfsson was most recently Director Air and Ocean for Scandinavia and has wide experience of all aspects of the freight and logistics business.

"This is an exciting opportunity to join the UK organisation at a pivotal point in its development.  It has a really stable foundation on which we can now build upon and I am looking forward to the challenge,“ says Helgi Ingolfsson.  "Our move to the new premises at Heathrow later this year will mark a major milestone in the company’s UK history and allow us to focus on the growth of all market segments particularly in land freight and contract logistics while in air and ocean we will be concentrating on the vertical markets which my new team are so good at specialising in".
