Mario Amato has joined White and Company as the company’s group European business development manager.

Mario joins Whites from UniGroup where he had been regional director, Global Business Development – EMEA, since 2013 and previously managing director of Four Winds AGS in the UK. 

Mario has worked in the moving industry for 30 years operating in four countries in two continents.  As an American he is bi-cultural and is fluent in English, French and Greek languages.

He said that joining Whites was an easy choice for him. “The company is as solid as rock with a stellar reputation for quality and customer care,” he said.  “It is well respected not only in the UK but across the world and is big enough to compete in the market.” 

Whites is well known in the UK for its extensive trade services especially to the Channel Islands and Europe.  “Whites has a very impressive vehicle fleet. As group European business development manager I will be looking to increase fleet utilisation and develop even stronger contacts with the business communities in Europe. I will also be working to develop our corporate removals business in the region.”

Ian Palmer, Chief Executive of White and Company was understandably delighted to have retained Mario’s services.  “Mario has tremendous experience in the industry so I know he will make a real difference to our business long term.  It’s very important for us to continue building our European business and I am sure he’s the right man for the job.” 

White and Company has been in business since 1871 and has 17 branches around the UK and one in Mallorca.
