Whistl strengthens Fulfilment and Contact Centre Management Team

Whistl, the leading delivery management company in the UK, has hired Jon Stockton as Director Fulfilment and Contact Centres (South) to lead the Northampton, Rushden and Farnborough sites.

Jon joins the company from FedEx, most recently holding the post of Vice President Ground Operations UK.  He has been with the company for 26 years, joining TNT Express at the start of his management career. His experience includes building and leading high performing teams in the logistics, fulfilment and depot operations areas.

Jon’s appointment coincides with a restructuring of the overall management team with Kevin Read promoted to the role of Director Fulfilment and Contact Centres (North) covering all facilities and operations in the North of the country. They will report to Noel Lambert, Managing Director, who also has responsibility for the online retail platform, Ethical Superstore.

Whistl has invested significantly in fulfilment and contact centres in the past year including a new warehouse in Northampton and the acquisition of Clientbase Fulfilment in December.

The company now has 8 fulfilment warehouses across the UK, totalling over 1 million sqft of fulfilment space and over 500 seat contact centre capability.
