GWSL Appoints Simon Williams as New Managing Director

We're delighted to announce Simon Williams as the new Managing Director of GWSL, our leading warehousing and storage facility [https://gwsl.co.uk/post/services/warehousing/] in Immingham. After three successful years as Operations Director, Simon is stepping up to lead the next stage of our growth.

Simon brings more than 20 years of experience from the plastics packaging industry, where he built an impressive career before making the leap into warehousing. Reflecting on his move, he said:

"Starting again in a new sector was nerve-racking, but it was also exciting to have the opportunity to transfer my skillset to a new team. Having grown my career over a long time, I was ready for a new challenge and I'm proud to have developed the business at GWSL with the support and trust of a great team."

Driving Growth and Investment

Since joining GWSL, Simon has played a key role in reshaping the business. In just three years, he has overseen a major rebrand and helped deliver a 2 million investment programme that included two brand-new warehouses and a state-of-the-art fire detection system. These changes have strengthened our facilities and created a stable platform for future growth.

Owner David Jobes will continue to play an active role in the business, working closely with Simon to steer strategy. "David and I are a team," Simon explained. "I look forward to continuing to work alongside him as we lead the company into its next chapter."

Passion for Products, Pride in People

At GWS, we've always believed in having a "passion for your product," and Simon is proud to lead a team that goes above and beyond for customers. "This is not a company that accepts 'OK'-our people are committed to exceeding expectations," he said.

Simon also emphasises the importance of culture and balance: "Our team underpins everything we do at GWS, so it's vital to nurture their talents and support a healthy work-life balance. That benefits our clients-and it shows in the results we deliver."

Even our office Chihuahua, Alan, gets looked after with his daily treats.

A Clear Plan for the Future

GWS is midway through a four-year investment plan that continues to expand capacity, modernise systems, and strengthen customer engagement. The warehousing and transport industry has faced challenges in recent years, but under Simon's leadership, GWS is delivering strong results and focusing firmly on long-term growth.

"It won't be plain sailing, but we're confident in our strategy," Simon said. "We'll keep investing, developing staff, and building strong relationships with customers."

Quality You Can Trust

With over 240,000 sq ft of storage space across a 23-acre site, GWS offers flexible solutions for a wide range of industries [https://gwsl.co.uk/services/]. From packaging storage to large-scale distribution, our facilities include secure internal and external storage [https://gwsl.co.uk/post/services/security/], expert loading and offloading, and a trusted team of product handlers.

"Expectations are rightly high in this industry," Simon added. "Large retailers need reliable, responsive service-and GWS delivers that. With my background in packaging, I can also bring additional expertise as this area continues to grow."

Leading the Next Chapter

As Simon takes on the role of Managing Director, he is ready to lead GWSL through further development and success.

"I can't thank the team enough for their support," he said. "They even trust me on a forklift truck-and that says a lot from the A-Team of warehousing and storage!"
