DHL Express appointed Garry Kemp as area director for the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey (MENAT) in March last year, with responsibility for 15 different countries, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
Located at the company’s regional office in Bahrain, Kemp is a New Zealander with a thirty-year career at DHL Express, including positions in general management, operations, sales and commercial.
Over the past year, he has overlooked the opening of new facilities in Jebel Ali Free Zone and Jordan, received the ‘best company to work for’ award in Saudi Arabia, and developed the relationship between DHL and Middle East customs authorities with a number of initiatives, including a recent tour of the company’s security operations in Bahrain and the sponsorship of a special achievement award for Dubai Customs.
