Two man delivery specialists ArrowXL have taken on two key hires for its management team. Adam Jeffryes is to be general manager at the Enfield site and Allan Pape is to be Arrow XL’s new business development manager.

Jeffryes role is to oversee day-to-day operations at the Enfield hub. His last job was at DX Group where he was also general manager for 11 years.
