Bunkering firm Eleven Energy hires Gert and Yolanda Nell for Rotterdam office

Saudi-based bunkering firm Eleven Energy on Tuesday (2 September) announced the appointment of two experienced industry professionals, Gert Nell and Yolanda Nell, who will join the team at its newly established Rotterdam office from 1 October.

This follows the announcement earlier this summer by His Royal Highness Prince Abdulaziz Bin Turki Bin Talal Al Saud regarding the launch of Eleven Energy, led by Chris Todd, and marked another milestone in the company’s ambitious expansion strategy.

According to the company, Gert and Yolanda Nell held senior roles over the past two decades at companies including Bominflot, GP Global, and most recently Hanseatic Bunker Services.

Chris Todd, Head of Global Trading at Eleven Energy, said: “I couldn’t be more proud to welcome Gert and Yolanda to Eleven Energy. Bringing them on board from day one sets the tone and demonstrates the level at which our company will operate. 

“Having worked with them previously, I know firsthand what outstanding professionals they are, both in terms of their commitment to clients and suppliers, furthermore their unwavering integrity underpins the values of Eleven Energy and what we stand for. 

“The new Rotterdam office will significantly strengthen our capabilities and position us for the ambitious growth we envision.”

Eleven Energy confirmed that further signings and new office openings will be announced in the coming weeks and months, as the company starts to build its global network in the energy and marine fuels sector.
