Guillaume Pinel is taking over Quentin Grandière’s place as manager of the two Ziegler offices in Bordeaux. His mission: keep developing the offices and prepare the construction of the warehouse, which will soon bring the two offices together.
At only 40, Guillaume Pinel already has 20 years of experience in the transportation sector. He started in operations and gradually took on new responsibilities, until he became manager and steered the creation of new branches. By the end of 2019, he joined the Ziegler Group to take charge of the two offices in Bordeaux.
The first office, more transport orientated, offers transport and logistics services. The second one, called Ziegler Wine & Spirits, is more specifically turned to wine professionals.
“I’m really proud to see that our teams’ investment allows us to insure the quality of service our clients expect from us”, says Guillaume Pinel, whose mission now consists in writing the next page of Ziegler’s expansion in the region.
Focus on a new warehouse
Guillaume Pinel will prepare the transfer of both agencies into a new warehouse which construction will soon take place.
The project was launched by Quentin Grandière, now Regional Executive Manager, and will provide a building with more than 12 000 square meters of usable area. It will follow all of the latest safety, accessibility and temperature control standards.
The two branches will be pooled together, with unified tools and procedures. Apart from the synergies, the new manager sees real opportunities to improve the quality of information processing while facilitating internal staff mobility.
“The diversity of our activities already brings out enriching exchanges between specialists in logistics, transport and customs. With the merge of our two sites, we will be able to go even further, in a real logic of career development”, adds Guillaume Pinel.
