Oakland International develops international taste with new post

Multi temperature supply chain and logistics specialist, Oakland International, has appointed Edith Hurst-Earl to the post of Customer Support Executive, with overall responsibility for on and off site customer liaison.

A French national, Edith’s extensive language work, undertaken over the last ten years, has encompassed a range of business sector experience, including working with computer manufacturer Dell and French car manufacturer Peugeot, and producing French language promotional material for the export market.

Oakland International MD, Dean Attwell, stated: “Edith has worked with Oakland for three years, holding a number of key positions during this time. We see this next progressive step in her development as a clear signal of Oakland’s push in our strategic phase of business development support as we expand our European and international supply chain and distribution service offer.”

A specialist in third party supply chain warehousing, logistics and distribution, Oakland has built an enviable reputation for its successful business models, maintaining expansion of its chilled distribution schemes for UK and Ireland. Supply chain functions encompass warehousing, picking and distribution for ambient, chilled and frozen products to all major retail multiples and independents.

Said Edith: “I look forward to building closer ties with our existing customers, offering enhanced levels of service and working to develop organic growth, whilst supporting Oakland’s work with new markets as we expand our European and international client base."
