Leading pallet distribution network Pall-Ex has appointed two new graduate trainees.

Beatriz Cano and Matthieu Charpy have joined the projects department of the UK's number one network for distribution of palletised freight.

Beatriz, 27, moved to the UK from Mexico in September 2008 to study for a Master's Degree in International Management at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.

She previously spent four years with Banorte Financial Group in Monterrey, Mexico, where she held the position of project manager.

Beatriz will be initially charged with achieving the Investors in People standard which will bring Pall-Ex considerable commercial benefits including financial performance improvement and increment of profitability.

Matthieu, 25, has a Master's Degree in Strategic Management and Innovation from the Toulouse University Graduate School of Management.

He previously worked as an assistant product manager at Philips Healthcare in Paris and will support the Pall-Ex projects team in delivering the company's European expansion strategy.

Beatriz and Matthieu will work alongside Karolina Stepniak who has recently been promoted to Project Co-ordinator - the 26-year-old joined Pall-Ex as a graduate in September 2008 after achieving a Masters in Engineering and Manufacturing Management at Coventry University.

The projects team is headed by Anand Assi who joined Pall-Ex in 2001 and is currently studying for his DBA doctorate.

He said: "I am very happy to welcome both Beatriz and Matthieu to Pall-Ex.

"Each of them bring considerable educational and commercial experience and will support the continued expansion and development of the Pall-Ex network throughout the UK and Europe."
