Logistics group Howard Tenens has appointed Honda's former head of European transport Ray Runza as its development director.
Mr Runza, who had worked at Honda in various logistics roles since 1987 and held his most recent job at the car firm for more than seven years, joins Howard Tenens on a consultancy basis.
He will report to the group's joint managing directors Ben and Dan Morris, working specifically on new business opportunities, procurement and expansion of customer and supplier relationships.
Ben said Mr Runza brought a vast wealth of experience and contacts across the European logistics arena to the group's senior management team.
"He will be a tremendous asset to Howard Tenens," he said. "His experience, personality, work ethic and the high standards to which he operates provide an excellent match for the Howard Tenens culture."
