People Moves: Martin Willmor, CEO UKI at DHL Supply Chain

DHL Supply Chain has a new CEO for its UK & Ireland business in the form of Martin Willmor. He succeeds Saul Resnick, who is stepping down to pursue opportunities outside the group. 

Martin will report directly to Hendrik Venter, CEO of DHL Supply Chain.

Return to DHL

Martin, who joins from DigiHaul, is entering his second stint at DHL having previously spent two decades with the group. He initially joined in 2002 and went on to assume numerous senior leadership positions across operations and general management, driving growth and innovation across multiple sectors and markets.

In 2013, he became Vice President of Passenger Gateways, before being appointed Managing Director for Supply Chain Solutions.

In 2021, Martin co-founded DigiHaul, a digital freight platform simplifying and automating carrier and load management – including tender management, haulier integration and subcontractor coordination – for efficient road transport operations across the UK and Europe. 

Under his leadership, the business expanded internationally and now operates in four markets, delivering exponential year-on-year growth. 

Having returned to DHL, Martin commented: “I am honoured to be taking on this role. Having grown my career within DHL, I know first-hand the dedication and talent of our people. 

“Together, we will continue to build on our strong foundations, delivering outstanding service for our customers and continuing to lead the market by example. 

“I am excited to shape the next phase of the business’ journey in the UK and Ireland.”

A 'proven track record'

Hendrik said Martin has a “proven track record of driving sustainable growth, innovation and customer excellence”. 

He added: “His deep industry knowledge, strategic mindset and strong leadership make him exceptionally well positioned to lead DHL Supply Chain UKI into its next chapter.

“At the same time, I would like to sincerely thank Saul for his outstanding leadership and contributions. 

“He has driven clear improvements in customer experience and employee engagement, strengthened financial performance and laid the foundations for future growth. We wish him every success in his endeavours.”
