Lancashire-headquartered fulfilmentcrowd has appointed its first business development manager for France as it targets European expansion.
The Chorley business, which specialises in logistics services for fast-growing eCommerce retailers, has appointed Kevin Plantier to drive growth of the company’s fulfilment centre in Lieusaint, France.
Located in Paris, Plantier joins from distribution software company DSD Europe in the Netherlands. He will draw on 11 years’ experience working across multiple sectors to grow fulfilmentcrowd’s offer amongst France-based eCommerce retailers.
Plantier said: “What really excites me about joining fulfilmentcrowd and the opportunity to grow the business in France, is the company’s customer-centric approach. Everything from transparent pricing and instantly available quotes, through to client on-boarding and the improvements made to the mobile customer app, have been designed to make life easier for eCommerce retailers.”
Fulfilmentcrowd opened its Lieusaint fulfilment centre in December 2021 to initially support growing exports and international shipping from its UK customers, following investment from BGF.
Lee Thompson, fulfilmentcrowd’s chief executive, added: “Our solution saves time and complexities for eCommerce retailers, so they can concentrate on driving sales and growing their businesses. Kevin’s experience will prove extremely valuable in taking this offer to retailers in France.
“He’s got a strong background in logistics software and, along with features such as our pricing calculator, will be able to show eCommerce retailers that outsourcing fulfilment can be pain-free and profitable.”
In addition to Plantier’s appointment as business development manager for France, fulfilmentcrowd is looking at creating similar roles in other countries across Europe.
