New Group Technical Director appointed

Andrew Pearson has joined Logson Group as Group Technical Director.

He will assume responsibility for operational and technical project management and best practice leadership across all group companies. This will include the development of strategies to maximise the potential of staff and the facilities across the group. He succeeds Frank Hay, who became Group Managing Director of Board24 last year.

Andrew brings with him a wealth of experience in operational leadership roles across a wide variety of industry sectors including packaging, food and beverage, building materials and construction.

With hands on experience and professional qualifications including a degree in Environmental Engineering, postgraduate qualifications in Dairy Technology and Construction Management and a World Class Manufacturing Instructor, he will add tangible value to the group operations.

“This is a fantastic opportunity and challenge for me, and I am proud to join the UK’s only truly independent corrugated group,” said Andrew. “Initially, it’s been a whirlwind tour of the sites, meeting the team at each business and focusing on key sites and their growth plans. However, in the longer term there are some exciting opportunities to share best practice, unlock even more capacity across the group and continue to develop the group to deliver ongoing success.”

David Richardson, CEO, Logson Group commented; “We welcome Andrew to the business and look forward to working with him as Logson Group continues to develop, reinforcing its unique position in the UK corrugated packaging sector.”
