Sakkers and McCrindle
Senior appointments made at Peterson
Peterson, the international energy logistics provider, has appointed Loek Sakkers as director of projects and Stephen McCrindle as supply chain manager, within its offshore business.
These new positions have been created in response to growth within the business and changes in the logistics sector.
Sakkers, who joined Peterson in 1996 as manager of the logistics team will lead and support a wide range of marine related projects including the further development of Peterson’s highly successful vessel sharing concept.
McCrindle, who joins Peterson after three years as supply chain manager with Stauff UK, will focus on the UK and Netherlands, as well as other operational business areas within the Offshore Group.
Peterson Offshore Group CEO, Erwin Kooy said: “Loek and Stephen are both talented and experienced individuals. They each bring with them a wealth of knowledge and their focus is completely in line with Peterson’s ambitious vision and focus on delivery for our clients.
“These continue to be challenging times for the industry. Nevertheless as a business we have performed well against this backdrop, adapting to the economic conditions as they evolve, as well as recognising the industry’s determination to collaborate further for the greater good. These appointments are testament to this and will help us further provide our customers with innovative, efficient and effective logistics solutions.”
In his previous role with Stauff UK, McCrindle managed over 400 UK and International suppliers across a wide range of product categories. Prior to that he spent six years with BAE Systems in a variety of purchasing and commodity management roles and has an Advanced Diploma with the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply.
In his previous positions with Peterson, Sakkers was instrumental in building a unique vessel pooling arrangement in the Netherlands before progressing to pool fleet manager and deputy director in 1998, where he was involved in the implementation of vessel and offshore base sharing.
