DB CARGO UK's new CEO Andrea Rossi started work on September 1, stating his immediate priority as "mitigating the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on colleagues, the company and its customers''.
Mr Rossi said despite a sudden and significant drop in traffic during the pandemic, DBC had continued to deliver industryleading levels of service to its customers, and announced several major contracts with Royal Mail, Drax and Tarmac, which he said would provide a solid platform on which to rebuild.
He added: "We're by no means out of the woods yet, but we're already seeing the green shoots of recovery in key markets such as steel and construction.
