P&O
Nedlloyd, one of the world’s largest container shipping
companies, has opened two support centres in Pune and Chennai
for its global business, and has established a new company,
P&O Nedlloyd IT Services to operate these centres. The
new company will perform two support functions for P&O
Nedlloyd—it will act as a back-office for the company’s
worldwide business covering a variety of shipping, documentation
and finance-related processes and serve as a global IT support
centre. The new offices will cater for upwards of 500 staff
between them. Provisions have also been made to expand to
accommodate up to 1000 staff in the future.
Commenting on the new organisation, Barry Williams, executive
director, P&O Nedlloyd, London, responsible for P&O
Nedlloyd IT Services, said, “Our new Indian organisation
is an exciting new venture for the company and is a key part
of our plans to reduce costs while continuing to raise our
service standards.”
He adds that the Pune global centre would be the only one
of its kind P&O Nedlloyd has worldwide, and would provide
24x7 support to the company’s offices.
