Following the merger of Elite Global Logistics Network (EGLN) and the WCA, Matthew West has been named EGLN’s managing director.

West, WCA’s director of North America is an experienced director with more than six years of global logistics experience through leadership at WCA.

The two networks merged in October 2017, and West will work closely with EGLN president and founder, Roy Stapleton to grow the network.

Stapleton describes West’s appointment as a “no-brainer”, saying: “His longstanding experience as a WCA network leader is exactly what we need to expand the group and integrate into WCA’s existing model.”

He adds: “What makes Matthew so valuable is his diversity of skills. He has sales experience, is great with the members and knows his way around WCA’s robust database.”
