On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Supply chain and logistics consultancy Bis Henderson Consulting has appointed a seasoned industry professional to head up its property services offering.

Experienced logistics C-suite director and real estate development specialist Matt Whittaker brings 20 years’ experience to the Northampton-based company.

Whittaker previously held senior supply chain roles at NHS Supply Chain, DHL and Kuehne + Nagel.

He said: “A great many businesses planning new warehouse developments or extensions have the potential to drive far greater value from their property assets than they may realise. In my new role I’m looking forward to helping clients unlock hidden value by demystifying the whole process of property acquisition and development – releasing value that can be channelled back into the business to improve competitive performance.”

Andy Kaye, CEO of Bis Henderson Group, added: “We are delighted to welcome Matt to our expanding group of logistics support businesses. Matt’s deep understanding of the logistics property sector and his considerable expertise in delivering the best possible deal for the client, will enable us to provide a valuable new dimension to our services, one that will complement our total service provision, from recruitment and skills development to logistics consulting, warehouse space provision and now property services.”
