Vincent has occupied roles at senior management level with various organisations across the globe. In his most recent role
at ICAP Deutschland GmbH where he spent six years as Executive Managing Director, Vincent developed the vision and strategy
for the German entity and merged the two country organisations, preparing the company for the new regulation under MiFid

he has worked on a number of key projects including the construction of Maritime’s Strategic Rail Freight Interchange
at East Midlands Gateway which receives five daily services to date, and the company’s move into the intermodal market.
Reporting to Chief Executive Officer – Distribution, Dave Boomer, Alex’ substantial expertise will enable him to bring
new and exciting ideas to Maritime’s distribution division, and help the business develop its distribution strategy across
its core and selected markets whilst examining opportunities elsewhere.

HR Service Centre at the Port of Felixstowe. Joining Maritime as HR General Manager in 2019, Shaun's experience has been
instrumental to progressing HR management in a business now employing over 3,000 personnel, whilst ensuring Maritime remains
at the forefront of the industry. In his new role as Human Resources Director, Shaun will continue to lead the HR and Payroll
team and advise the business on HR strategy.
Commenting on the new appointments, John Williams, Group Executive Chairman at Maritime, stated: ‘I am delighted to
welcome Vincent to the company, and congratulate Shaun and Alex on their new appointments. Our expansion and restructure
not only reflects the sharp increase in service demand due to COVID-19, but also underlines our ongoing commitment to increasing
our capability for our valued customers. Vincent, Shaun, and Alex will bring significant value to the senior management team
and business, building on our existing strengths, boosting our development plans further and evolving our remarkable journey.’
