Spring appoints Vice President Global Operations

Spring Global Mail have appointed Rudy van Rillaer as Vice President Global Operations.

This is a Management Team position whose scope and responsibilities have been defined as a direct result of an extensive network operations review project. Rudy (pictured) will be responsible for the implementation of the project’s recommendations that will bring key cost benefits and quality of service improvements. The phasing of these activities will see almost instant benefits and provide a more flexible and reliable network for Spring’s customers, says the company.

A key recommendation of the review is to centralise management and control of the network and concentrate operational activities into two European hubs, Belgium and the United Kingdom. This also means that Spring will close the operational hub in Cologne, Germany. The German Country Team will remain and continue to serve their German customers.

According the company, the changes to Spring’s network operations are part of the long-term strategy of the company to remain best in class for cost effectiveness and service and to ensure that it remains flexible in the way it responds to changes in international volumes and requirements.

Rudy van Rillaer, who has been working for Spring Global Mail since the start of the joint venture, brings to this very important role considerable operational knowledge, experience and skills.
