Third-party logistics (3PL) provider Kammac – a patron of the Greater Birmingham Transatlantic Chamber of Commerce - has announced appointments to its senior management team.
The appointments follow Kammac’s acquisition by the Elanders group in November and forms part of the firm’s plan to build its presence in ecommerce fulfilment services and developing new sectors.
Having worked at Kammac for the last five years as commercial director and chief operating officer (COO), Ged Carabini has been appointed chief executive officer (CEO).
Ged (pictured) boasts a wealth of experience from his three-decade-long career in the logistics sector, during which he has held positions in various logistics organisations, such as Beva Leach Logistics and The Green Group.
In his new position as CEO of Kammac, Ged will also join the Elanders' Group Management team.
He will assume responsibility in leading Kammac's growth initiatives within the portfolio of the Elanders' Group.
Meanwhile, Gavin Varey has been appointed as Kammac’s new director of procurement and facilities management, following 20-plus years’ experience in strategic sourcing and supply chain optimisation.
He previously held the position as procurement manager.
In addition to driving the Kammac business forward, the team will work with members of Elanders worldwide to provide access to additional services for its customers, as well as sharing insight across the group on how Kammac has achieved growth in the UK.
Ged Carabini said: “I am delighted to move into the role of CEO and welcome Gavin to our senior management team.
