PALLET pooling specialist IPP has appointed Dan Bonnett as a new UK business development manager, joining Colin Keating who has been promoted to business development manager, Ireland.

Building on 11 years with IPP, Colin’s role is now focused on sales and driving new business forward whilst ensuring customers continue to receive ‘best in class’ service.

IPP said Colin has enjoyed several achievements over the last decade, from successfully reducing pallet loss rates and improving how IPP manages its recoveries to securing new business wins and growth in Ireland.

He will be tasked with growing IPP’s existing customer base and expanding its network across Ireland, with additional responsibility to help the UK team meet similar objectives.

Joining him is new recruit Dan Bonnett, who brings over 25 years of experience in the logistics and supply chain industry. With knowledge of the FMCG retail market and project management, IPP said he has a ‘flair’ for new business development and is looking to help the firm increase its market share as business development manager in the UK.

Shelley Pierre, commercial director at IPP, said, “These two significant appointments will strengthen our offer, helping take our business to the next level. We are growing as a preferred pallet partner for significant businesses across the UK and Ireland, and both appointments will help us shape future opportunities.

“Customer experience is a core focus for IPP and is what sets our business apart in the market; Colin and Dan will help to drive our growth while demonstrating our commitment to customers and delivering the best possible service. Colin’s knowledge of our business and focus on being at the forefront of delivering innovation coupled with Dan’s significant industry knowledge is a winning formula.”
