Aramex, the global logistics solutions provider, has announced the appointment of Tommy Kelly to the position of Chief Executive Officer, Europe.

Based at the company's Ballyboughal facility just outside Dublin, Irish entrepreneur Kelly is now responsible for the activities of Aramex’s own operations in the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands.

Kelly has considerable experience in the freight and logistics industry, having founded the TwoWay Group in Ireland and expanded the business into the leading UK-Ireland overnight road express service. Kelly then developed the business into an internationally recognised player and an Aramex service partner, with operations across Ireland, the UK and the Netherlands. In mid-2006, Aramex acquired the TwoWay Group to form a key part of its European network and international expansion plan.

"Tommy Kelly's operational experience in all areas of this business is second to none," says Aramex Chief Operating Officer, Osama Fattaleh. "He was the natural choice for this role, and we are very happy that he will be leading the European team in helping us achieve our global objectives".

Adds Kelly: "I am excited by this new challenge. As a company, Aramex is very well positioned in the marketplace to offer our clients a highly competitive range of solutions to meet the demanding requirements of the global arena".
