Changes to the leadership team at Unifabs
Tom has been with the company since it was established in 2007. He was delighted to progress from Operations Director to the position of Managing Director of Unifabs. Tom commented on the restructuring of the management team, “As a business, we have seen continual growth by partnering with our customers, offering much more than the traditional supplier/customer dynamic. This is the path we will continue on. Not only by further developing our manufacturing base to offer the latest in manufacturing technologies, but also by investing in the development of our team, and bringing new talent into the business through the ‘Unifabs Academy‘. I’d like to thank Jason for giving me opportunities over the past 10 years. And, also for the trust placed in me going forward as the new Managing Director.”
Tom will continue to manage the day to day Operations as he did previously. He commented “we have an excellent team in place. I am confident that in my new role we will continue to take Unifabs from strength to strength”.
