Carver Group sales director Ivan Savage will step down from the main board in mid-November on his 65th birthday.
Prior to joining the Carver business in 1993, Mr Savage had already been employed in the timber industry for 30 years, initially on the south coast with A Olby & Son Ltd (now part of the Covers Group), then relocating to the Midlands in 1976 to join Cox Long Ltd at Stafford and subsequently with S Jackson & Co (Walsall) Ltd which was purchased by Carvers in 1993.
Mr Savage is also the current president for the Timber Trades’ Benevolent Society Midlands Region.
He will remain as a director of Engineered Timber Solutions Ltd, a trussed rafter manufacturer based near Shrewsbury and 50% owned by the Carver Group, and will continue in a sales consultancy role for both ETS Ltd and Carvers.
He will also have a sales and technical involvement on behalf of a European manufacturer of engineered wood products with a UK operation and distribution office in the south-east.
