“Being well-versed in operations, I am delighted to have been bought on board to lead the team, grow the division and see it reach its full potential.

“It’s no mean feat taking on a new business – to make it work you have to make it your own, which requires a new strategy implemented with creative ideas, a passion for the industry and a team who are dedicated and driven.
