Positioned for continued success with two new management appointments

Hewden, the national, multi-product hire specialist, has appointed two new members to its management team, based at its head office in Manchester.

Mark Albiston has joined the company in the newly created role of Operations Director and Lyndsay Glover has taken up the position of Head of HR.

Mark Albiston

Mark brings with him a wealth of experience gained over a number of operations roles, most recently at Yodel (formerly the Home Delivery Network) where he was the customer operations director.

This new role will see Mark heading up Hewden's service delivery and infrastructure. This includes managing a nationwide depot network and ensuring compliance with health and safety and environmental legislation, as well as refining the company's support network to continually improve customer service levels.

Commenting on his new role, Mark said, "There's a solid wealth of experience in the Hewden organisation. Customers come to us because we are experts in our field. It's my job to build on this talent and refine our service delivery to ensure that we continue to deliver the right support to our customers, in sectors as diverse as construction, infrastructure, industrial, events management and environmental."

Mark has a master's degree in Engineering and an MBA from the Manchester Business School.

Lyndsay Glover

Lyndsay joins Hewden from HP Information Security where she was HR Director, particularly responsible for employee training and development both in the UK and overseas.

In her new role, Lyndsay will manage the company's existing human resources team, helping to train and develop the skills of more than 1400 Hewden employees located nationwide.

In line with Hewden's commitment to developing the career prospects for young people in its industry, Lyndsay will be responsible for delivering and growing the company's popular graduate recruitment scheme as well as increasing the number of apprenticeship opportunities available to school leavers.

Lyndsay added, "I'm looking forward to the challenge of developing the skills and career prospects of such a diverse range of employees, from the new talent that we bring in to the business through to the company's longstanding members of staff that have been delivering great customer service for many years."

Lyndsay is a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (MCIPD).
