“My decision to join United Plant was a natural one, with a personal desire to utilise my experience. The change from a corporate to a privately-owned company with a desire for growth, also appealed to me as a new challenge,” Greg said. “Since joining as managing director the business has gone through a phase of review and consolidation. The review period has enabled me, together with the management team, to begin our journey and to develop a five-year growth strategy.
“All our people are instrumental to the successful future of United Plant and support across the business and our engineering team has been very positive, as we start to make improvements across our operation. We are also further enhancing our safety strategy as we continue to ensure safety best practise both for our staff and our customers.|
