Cologne / Rotterdam. Jan-Willem Venhuizen has been appointed Managing Director at Oudkerk B.V. in Rotterdam with effect from the new year. The 48-year-old had already been working for the logistics service provider from the HGK Group as Deputy Managing Director since 2019. Together with Huib ten Cate, Spokesman of the Management Board, the logistics manager will now lead the company.
With the appointment of Jan-Willem Venhuizen as Managing Director, Oudkerk B.V. is finalising the reorganisation of the company's management. At the same time, the company is bidding farewell to long-serving Managing Director Kees Potters, who is retiring after decades of success. "I am delighted that we have found such a viable solution," explains Markus Krämer, CEO of shareholder HGK Logistics and Intermodal GmbH (HGK LI), "Jan-Willem Venhuizen is a proven expert in the market and a valued partner for our customers."
Oudkerk B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of HGK LI, has been active in the ports of the Netherlands and Belgium for over 60 years. As a long-standing partner of the offshore industry, the company contributes to the realisation of wind farms in the North Sea - and thus to the achievement of European climate targets.
With a 24/7 service, Oudkerk B.V. supports maritime and offshore customers in the realisation of their projects.
