Board24 have confirmed the appointment of Dominic Drew as their new Managing Director. He replaces Richard McBride who, having led the business for over 12 years has now retired.
Drew worked alongside McBride during the majority of last year, as part of a thorough handover period. He brings with him a breath of experience having been in the packaging industry for over 28 years, starting out his career as a technical engineer, then later becoming Managing Director at Priory Packaging, which became part of DS Smith.
“During my handover period, I have been able to take the time to analyse the company to understand the strengths and weaknesses,” said Drew. “Moving forward each of the three sites will be focused on a 5 year plan, with each site operating well, albeit at capacity. Coalville has already announced a new significant Phase 1 development plan, which happily opens up further growth opportunities. Preston also has further opportunities to develop further, as does Larkhall. There is potential at each of the sites to enhance its offering.”
