UK freight forwarder Unsworth Global Logistics has made three key management appointments at its new Liverpool office, including Mark Cox (above, right) as director of the branch.

He brings more than 25 years’ experience of the freight and logistics industry, significantly in West Africa where he held roles at  regional shipping line Delmas for almost nine years, followed by four with CMA CGM. Mr Cox “will drive the commercial development of the Liverpool branch, ensuring its continued success and growth”, said the company.

Joe Edwards (above, centre) has been appointed business development manager.

Finally, Unsworth has also hired Cesar Caicedo (above, left) as procurement manager. He also possesses “more than a quarter of a century of experience in the logistics industry in shipping line and forwarder roles”.

“We’re excited to establish a stronger presence in Liverpool, a key location in the north-west,” said CEO Richard Hogg. “This expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to growth, improving our service delivery, and supporting our customers with tailored solutions.

“With our talented team in place at the heart of one of the country’s main logistics gateways, we’re confident this new office will contribute significantly to the success of Unsworth and our continued growth within the region’s freight and logistics sector.”

The new Liverpool office follows the establishment of Unsworth’s Heathrow office, which opened in December.
