Gulf Petrochem Expands with African Trading Desk
Gulf Petrochem Group (GP) says it has added a dedicated Southern Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa Trading Desk at its office in Rotterdam.
The development comes with the addition of three professionals to manage the new desk, including Ngari Githitho, Yolanda Nell, and Gert Nell - all of whom are said to bring extensive local knowledge and sectoral experience.
Githitho will work in the role of Trader for Petroleum Products in East Africa, while Nell and Nell will both work as Bunker Traders for South Africa in GP Global ARA BV.
"The addition of a dedicated Southern Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa Trading Desk will further support our global client base providing them informed insights into the trading dynamics of the region," said Prerit Goel, Grou Director at GP.
"The two regions have tremendous growth potential and are central to the new global trade links that are being fostered, especially with China's One Belt, One Road initiative. The regions have a strong role in meeting global demand for commodities and serve as a vibrant market for developed and developing nations in meeting their demand for raw materials."
In May, the group announced the development of a Russian and Baltic trading desk within its Rotterdam office.
