Dan Everitt, managing director at the Mediterranean Shipping Company’s UK headquarters in Ipswich, has been named Multimodal Personality of the Year at a leading industry awards ceremony.
Mr Everitt, who has been been at the helm of MSC UK for eight years, having joined the company as an office junior in 1984, picked up the honour at the Freight Transport Association (FTA) Multimodal Awards.
Robert Jarvis, director of the annual Multimodal event, of which the awards ceremony forms part, told the audience of more than 600 industry leaders: “Everitt’s vision for the future of MSC is the continued promotion of a professional and dynamic organisation that places its staff and customers at the heart of its business.”
“As well as his obvious professional success, he is a thoroughly decent bloke who truly deserves this award.”
Mr Everitt, who was born and raised in Ipswich, said: “I feel enormously privileged to have been awarded this title at the Multimodal Awards. It’s a huge honour. People really are at the heart of our business in every sense. MSC is, and always has been, a place where you can learn, grow, and develop in a friendly and spirited way.”
