Mr Widelund has extensive experience in the logistics and transport sector, beginning his career at Nordisk Transport, responsible for traffic sales.

His next role was taking responsibility for freight procurement at Swedish industrial manufacturer Alimak, which was followed by a stint as site manager for DFDS Transport in Skellefteå.
