Logistics and supply chain solutions provider Perishable Movements (PML) has appointed Alessandra Tagliabue to the newly created role of business development manager for Europe.

Tagliabue joins the company after serving in a micro business unit leadership position with a “globally recognised market leader in private healthcare”, PML said. Prior to this she worked predominantly in Spain with eight years in roles in the logistics and import/export sector.

“I’m delighted to be joining such a progressive organisation and relish the prospect of playing a pivotal role in PML’s continued success,” said Tagliabue.

“I have been impressed by the company’s clear credentials as a category leader, regularly  demonstrating its ability to stay ahead of the curve by implementing innovative and future perfect solutions to the myriad challenges facing the logistics and supply chain industry.

“I am excited to be part of a business that boasts an excellent record for staff retention, largely due to the easy access to a pathway for progression for those who wish to further develop their careers with the company.

“My main mission will be to promote PML’s new Kent transport and logistics hub, a state-of-the-art operation which represents a highly attractive proposition to European customers, offering a seamless and efficient gateway for companies looking to bring perishable and non-perishable goods into the UK.”
