In his new role, Pattullo will head up Exel's EMEA operations which cover 84 countries, 67,000 employees and support the supply chain needs of many leading companies.

"I am pleased to welcome John to the team," commented John Allan, Exel's Chief Executive. "As our operations in EMEA strengthen and develop, John's experience in developing, implementing and consolidating supply chain operations will be invaluable. He has undertaken both European and global roles which gives him a good understanding of the complexities of the region, enabling him to provide strong and effective leadership across EMEA."

NEW GROUP HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR
Siegfried Putzer joins Exel as Group Human Resources Director after six years in a similar role at DHL, based at its head office in Brussels. A German national, Siegfried's family home is close to Frankfurt but he plans to permanently move to the UK, and is now based at Exel's head office in Bracknell. Exel has also made a number of key additions to its Executive Board.
Siegfried, an engineering graduate, with a doctorate in transportation, began his career with Procter and Gamble, and has worked for Raychem in California and American Express across Europe. He joined DHL in 1998 and was progressively promoted to Group Human Resources Director. He replaces Chris Stephens, who has retired from Exel. Chris will maintain his involvement with Exel as a trustee of both the Exel Retirement Plan and Exel Foundation.
Siegfried Putzer said, "I am delighted to take up this role with an industry leader and looking forward to ensuring that we continue to attract, retain and develop the very best people for our business."
John Allan, Chief Executive, said, "I am sure everyone will join me in welcoming Siegfried to the team, and wishing Chris all the best for the future."
Exel has also announced that it is strengthening its Executive Board with the appointment of Paul Venables, Deputy Finance Director, who recently oversaw the integration of Tibbett & Britten, and Clifford Herbertson as Group Business Development Director.
