Kuehne+Nagel has appointed Aaron Scott as National Manager for UK, effective May 1, 2026.
Bringing three decades of leadership experience within logistics and supply chains, Scott will focus on strengthening the UK market position and growing the business with customers.
“I am excited to join Kuehne+Nagel, who is known in the industry for its excellent customer service and technological advancement. The ability to partner with customers, rethinking their supply chains and making them resilient is key and will drive growth in the future,” says Aaron Scott.
With an international career spanning Europe, including the UK, the Americas, Africa and APAC, Scott has in-depth knowledge in multiple industries, including Automotive, Technology and Retail.
In 2021, Aaron joined DB Schenker, where he advanced to become the CEO of the UK and Ireland Cluster. Following the DB Schenker acquisition, he became the SVP Contract Logistics for Belgium, Netherlands, UK & Ireland at DSV.

Separately, Kuehne+Nagel has secured a major new warehousing and logistics agreement with Chinese car manufacturing giant Changan.
The deal is a key part of Changan’s drive into the UK automotive sector.
The partnership secures 3,203m² of dedicated warehouse space at East Midlands Gateway. The facility will provide next-day parts availability across Changan’s nationwide dealer network.
The facility is designed to scale to meet Changan’s ambitious growth trajectory, as new models, including the recently launched Deepal S07, are introduced into the market.
Nic Thomas, Changan UK MD, said:
“Together with our logistics partnership with Kuehne+Nagel, we’re able to provide dealers and customers with peace of mind when it comes to accessing parts, ensuring our after-sales service offer is exemplary from the outset.
“These agreements give us the operational foundation to grow quickly and sustainably in the UK.”

“We are thrilled to support Changan’s UK expansion and proud to be chosen as its trusted logistics partner.
“Our East Midlands Gateway site provides multimodal connectivity options by air, road and rail, offering the quality, availability and flexibility needed to support Changan’s operations.”
