		 <title> <![CDATA[S2S appoints Director of Logistics]]></title>
		   <description><![CDATA[London, 16th January 2012 - Martin Lyon has been appointed Director of Logistics &amp; Supply Chain Development for management and investment company S2S Group&rsquo;s new supply chain operation.
&nbsp;
S2S&rsquo;s newly formed 4PL enterprise is the first operator able to offer complete end-to-end supply chain services in the Middle East.
&nbsp;
The appointment supports S2S as it establishes itself in the market and develops its innovative 4PL logistics operation. He will be based in Jeddah Saudi Arabia.
&nbsp;
As well as establishing S2S&rsquo;s new 4PL logistics operation, Martin will also help S2S establish a new 3PL logistics operation, Universal Logistics Group (ULG), in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on behalf of a client.
&nbsp;
S2S Managing Partner Samir Sunbol said: &ldquo;We are now in the process of appointing the senior management team that will lead our new 4PL enterprise and also develop ULG on behalf of our client.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;Martin&rsquo;s in-depth knowledge and experience of both the logistics industry and the Middle East will be vital assets as we establish ourselves in the logistics market.&rdquo;
&nbsp;
Martin joins from Williams Medical Supplies, where he was Director of Operations, and is able to draw on more than 35-years&rsquo; experience in the logistics industry. 
&nbsp;
Before joining S2S, he worked for a range of leading service providers throughout the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
&nbsp;
S2S&rsquo;s 4PL management services will be completely impartial, utilising the most efficient and effective logistics providers on the market and offering clients a single point of contact and consistently high service across the region.
&nbsp;
S2S Group was appointed to establish the management team that will lead ULG after a systematic overview of the market revealed there were no global logistics operators capable of offering a complete supply chain solution in Saudi Arabia.
&nbsp;
ULG&rsquo;s 3PL enterprise will offer complete logistics services, including air and sea freight forwarding, trucking and warehousing.
