ISS Palumbo has opened new offices in the UK marking the first step in its global expansion plans following its formation as a strategic partnership between Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) and offshore project logistics and freight forwarding specialists, Palumbo S.P.A.
Based in London, the new UK offices will further expand ISS Palumbo’s project logistics across the group and build on its vision to deliver a unique global combination of agency, project logistics and freight forwarding solutions to customers in the expanding offshore oil and gas energy sector.
ISS Palumbo is aiming to open five new offices worldwide within the next three years. In addition to the new UK offices, the company is also reviewing options for the US, UAE and South America.
The new offices will have commercial and operational capability and be responsible for managing existing and future projects, as well as winning new business in the UK and internationally.
New employees have already been recruited for the London office including John Walker, Vice President Marketing and Sales; Kenneth Brandom, Project Manager; and Nick Harsant, Vice President, Global Marketing and Sales who will be based in London but undertaking a global role.
Says Filippo Palumbo, Senior Vice President Offshore Solutions ISS: “We are very pleased to open our new UK offices just three months after creating our strategic partnership. This is a significant milestone in our global expansions for the company as we develop our project logistics capabilities further across the business.”
