Rotherham glass manufacturer, Beatson Clark has appointed Gary Brough to the position of operations director.

The company has developed a long-term strategy focusing on all elements of the business including investment into facilities and employees at their Greasborough Road facility.

Gary said: "I am looking forward to a new managerial challenge, Beatson Clark has a strong reputation in the area and I look forward to being part of a team dedicated to driving the business forward.

"In recent years "Lean Manufacturing" has been a strong driver in the businesses that I have worked in. This has had a big influence on how I manage and how I look at my role, the concept of understanding the needs of your customer is the first step on the "Lean Journey" and one that I am keen to continue as operations director at Beatson Clark.

"The market that we operate in is competitive and we need to look at what we can do differently to better support our existing customers, whether this be through considered investment, improving our factory or ensuring that our operations move towards world-class over the next few years."

Last month, Beatson Clark announced plans to invest £16m over the next two years in plant and machinery as well as further developing a community based glass collection scheme.
