Specialist MDF panels manufacturer Neat Concepts Ltd has bolstered its senior management team with the appointment of Tim Green, who joins as general manager.

He has spent his 15-year career in manufacturing, focusing on implementing business improvement programmes and supply chain management strategies.

“While this is my first taste of working in the timber industry, I have extensive experience in the automotive sector and see a number of similarities in terms of supply chain performance issues and the importance of achieving optimum operational excellence,” said Mr Green.

“In such a competitive market sector, it is essential that a business can accomplish maximum efficiencies in terms of production, quality and scheduling and this is one of the many areas of the business that I will be looking at.”

Chairman Philip Brading said Mr Green’s expertise would help to achieve the company’s ambition of doubling in size within the next two years.
