The appointment comes
two years after a sister company to the logistics firm lost a lucrative
local warehousing contract to a French firm.
DHL
Global Forwarding, formerly known as DHL Danzas Air & Ocean, is a
division of Deutsche Post DHL that provides air and ocean freight
forwarding services.
The company’s other business units include DHL Express, DHL Parcel, DHL eCommerce, DHL Freight and DHL Supply Chain.
DHL Supply Chain in 2016 issued termination notices to dozens of
its employees after a part of a multi-billion shilling five-year
contract it had with the East African Breweries Limited (EABL)
came to a close.
The
move which affected its 300 employees stationed at EABL’s Ruaraka
headquarters came after the brewer gave the warehousing job to Bollore
Transport and Logistics Kenya, a subsidiary of French multinational
Bollore.
EABL, which is 50.02 per cent owned by
UK-based brewer Diageo however, retained DHL as one its transporters in a
change of guard that brought to a close a lucrative contract the German
logistics firm had held since 2011.
