Pallet delivery network UPN has implemented a new management structure in the wake of the appointment of David Brown as its new managing director earlier in the year. 

A new team of regional directors has been established to work alongside UPN members up and down the country, Logistics Manager reports. 

Andrew Knowles - formerly of Fortec and TNT - has joined UPN as regional director for the south-east, while Jayne Lowndes has joined from UK Pallets as regional director for the south-west. 

Kevin Nightingale has become regional director for the central region and he holds prior management experience at Wincanton, P&O and Hargreaves. 

Andrew Spencer is the fourth and final regional director covering the north, Scotland and Ireland. 

Mr Brown said: "I am looking to ensure that as a company we are always working totally in synergy with our membership and their own local needs as businesses."
