With over 18 years of experience in the manufacturing sector, he brings expertise in overseeing business transformation and improving production efficiencies.
Leigh has worked with signature brands in manufacturing, including Leyland Trucks, AB InBev and has been involved in helping new businesses such as Footfall Flooring flourish.
Previously with Anglo European, part of the Amari Group, which has 700 businesses worldwide, he was responsible for implementing new working practices, streamlining production capabilities, procuring and managing capital expenditure on new machinery and oversaw the conversion of warehouses into production facilities.
Leigh commented on his appointment. He said, “Solomon has a fantastic reputation in the industry and is recognised as a market leader for the innovation it brings to the product and service offering.
“Like all manufacturing businesses, we have some challenges ahead of us regarding how to streamline the production process and work smarter not harder. That also means looking at investment in new machinery that will give us greater capacity and capabilities, right down to how we can increase efficiencies around project management. We also need to navigate what’s happening in the economy and the pressures that it brings.
“On the flip side, these challenges also present us with opportunities, and we have an excellent team here with a can-do approach. With that attitude, we can pretty much overcome anything and achieve great success.
“ Our business is focused on helping our clients move their goods and products from A to B quickly and efficiently. To do this, we need to exploit new technologies, and this award is a testament to our team, which is always looking to innovate our product in any way, shape or form.”
