Tissue maker Essity Prudhoe Mill has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of Martin Hallissey as head of projects. He joins the Swedish-listed company from Greggs, where he was site engineering manager and led a team of 23 engineers maintaining two production factories and delivering a new facility for the bakery business, before making the move from sausage rolls to toilet rolls.

At Prudhoe Mill he will have responsibility for the full project management team and work on a number of major new construction schemes, including the site’s new wastepaper recycling plant. Mr Hallissey, who competed internationally as an ironman triathlon world championship qualifier in 2016, spent 17 years with Proctor and Gamble before joining Greggs.

He said: “I’m super-excited to be joining Prudhoe Mill and taking a lead role in a number of proposed major projects.”
