Paxon appoints Anthony Heath as Business Development Manager

Paxon has appointed Anthony Heath as Business Development Manager, adding to the logistics group’s recent expansion of its commercial team.

Heath joins the newly formed brand created by combining Active Ants, Staci and Radial. In recent months, Paxon has made several Business Development Manager appointments, including Ranjit Singh Nagra, as it looks to support international brands entering the UK market.

His appointment comes as Paxon builds out its sales operation across fashion, beauty, wellness and lifestyle. Heath will focus on those sectors, drawing on more than 20 years of logistics experience.

Before joining Paxon, he held roles at UK Mail and EV Cargo. He later established and led logistics operations at Saint-Gobain and Clugston Global Logistics.

Most recently, Heath worked at DHL, focusing on the large-item home and garden segment. There, he led new business development and managed transport and warehousing accounts.

Growth push

Paxon is part of bnode, which provides services in more than 200 countries. In the UK, it operates from sites in Blackburn, Leicester, Northampton, Oldham and Wigan.

The business is positioning itself to meet demand from brands seeking outsourced logistics and fulfilment support in Britain. Its recent commercial hires point to a broader push to strengthen customer acquisition as retailers and consumer brands reassess supply chains, delivery expectations and returns handling.

Heath said he was attracted by the group’s established reputation in fulfilment and logistics services.

“Paxon and the companies it encompasses have built a strong reputation for creating streamlined fulfilment operations for brands of all sizes. They are known for developing strategic end-to-end solutions that deliver tangible results, and that is exactly why I wanted to join the team.

“Logistics and fulfilment have a profound impact on customer loyalty and brand growth. Today’s customers expect speed, convenience, seamless returns and sustainable operations. I am looking forward to working with clients to create solutions that meet these expectations,” Heath said.

Commercial team

Chief Executive Officer Wayne Chapman said the business is adding sales staff as eCommerce logistics continues to evolve. He linked that shift to advances in technology and artificial intelligence, which are reshaping how fulfilment providers meet customer demands and use operational data.

“It is an exciting time to join Paxon, and we are delighted to have Anthony on board. He brings extensive experience and a strong understanding of tech-enabled, scalable fulfilment solutions that create genuine value for customers.

“E-commerce fulfilment is constantly evolving, with advances in technology and AI creating new opportunities. We are building a sales team that can keep pace with these changes, use data and market insight, and provide strategic consultancy to help clients develop tailored solutions. Anthony will be a key part of that capability,” Chapman said.

The appointment reflects wider consolidation and repositioning across the logistics sector, as providers broaden their reach through brand integration and targeted hiring. For Paxon, Heath’s arrival adds another senior commercial figure with experience across parcels, warehousing and sector-specific logistics accounts.
