Leicestershire logistics firm Pall-Ex has strengthened its management team with two senior appointments.
Former Palletways network development director Barry Byers has been appointed as the new 海角视频 Pall-Ex managing director, while Martin Rantle has been named non-executive chairman, after previously serving as vice president of sales for DHL.
The new appointments have been made after Pall-Ex became the first pallet network to be owned by its members and senior management team - a deal that took place in October this year when founder, owner, chairwoman and former Dragon’s Den star, Hilary Devey agreed to sell the group.
Kevin Buchanan, now a shareholder in the business, remains chief executive.
Mr Buchanan said: "These are exciting times for the company and the new appointments will prove invaluable in accelerating our growth in the next few years as we take Pall-Ex to the next level.
"We are proud to be reinforcing our team for this new era with such experienced and knowledgeable individuals as Barry and Martin, who will support Pall-Ex’s status as the number one network for quality."
He said both will be instrumental in growing the company’s operations in the 海角视频 and Internationally.
Martin Rantle, who has more than 30 years’ experience in the industry, said:"Pall-Ex has already made a major impact Internationally and I’m looking forward to building on these foundations as well as support the strengthened senior management team."
