Industry Heavy-Weight Joins Premier Forest Products
to Head Up Midlands and North Division
Leading Independent Timber Trader Premier Forest Products
has recruited industry stalwart Chris Wild as a Director to head up
its new state-of-the-art warehouse and office in Birmingham and lead
the company's growth plans in the Midlands and the North. Chris
Wild will be based at the company's new office in Nexus Point,
Birmingham, where he will spearhead Premier's operations in the
North of the UK.
Chris brings to the company thirty years of timber
industry experience, many of those spent working at a senior
level within the regions he
will now be focussing on to meet Premier's ambitious expansion
plans for the next decade. Premier aims to dramatically increase its
market penetration in the UK, and intends to be conducting 50% of its
trading in the Midlands and the North in the next four years. The company
as a whole has a target turnover of £80 million by 2010.
Nigel Williams, one of the three founding Directors at Premier, is
delighted they persuaded Chris to join the company;
“Premier's plans for the next decade
are very ambitious, and so we felt we needed to bring on board
a Director with the extremely
high level of knowledge and competence that is needed to head
up this new regional division, and to develop our growth strategy
in this area
to meet our overall expansion objectives. Chris has over 30 years
of industry experience, including a proven track record as
a Regional Director in the North, and there is no question in my mind
that
Chris
is the best man for this job.”
Chris and his team moved into the new office on
Friday 19th August,
and the Birmingham operational facility
is now fully functional, with
the warehouse stocked full of Premier's extensive range of panel
products,
and the team ready to take sales calls and enquiries.
Premier is planning to hold an exclusive launch party to celebrate
the opening of the new facility at Nexus Point soon, and another additional
warehouse is set to open later this financial year.
