International moving specialist The EuroGroup has appointed Darren French as its business development manager for the United Kingdom.

Darren has over 30 years’ experience in the moving industry and has previously worked for a number of international moving companies. His role will be to expand the company’s commercial and trade business by providing services to Europe, the US, Australia, New Zealand and other destinations around the world.

The EuroGroup is probably best known for its work in the military sector and that continues to be the main part of the business, but the company is keen to expand its non-military activities and develop its services to trade customers.

“I am very excited about my new role at The EuroGroup,” said Darren. “With so many contacts around the world and vehicles continually running from the UK to Europe, we are in a very competitive position to provide services to the trade and I’ll be working hard to develop that side of the business in the future.”

The EuroGroup’s Managing Director Tony Tickner said, “I am delighted that Darren has joined our senior management team. He has a wealth of experience in our industry and we are looking forward to him helping to build our export department. He brings a new dynamic approach to export sales and his customer focus fits well with the model we adopt at The EuroGroup.”

Darren lives in Cheshire with his partner Sara and baby daughter Gracy.  When he’s not working Darren enjoys relaxing with his family and watching football. He is a keen Everton supporter.
