Hewden appoints operations director

Hewden has appointed two new members to its management team based at its head office in Manchester. Mark Albiston has joined in the newly created role of operations director and Lyndsay Glover has taken up the position of head of human resources.

Mr Albiston arrives at Hewden from Yodel (formerly the Home Delivery Network), the nationwide parcel delivery company, where he was customer operations director.

In his new job, Mr Albiston will lead Hewden's management of the depot network, ensure compliance with health and safety and environmental legislation, and refine the company's support network to continually improve customer service levels.

"There's a solid wealth of experience in the Hewden organisation", said Mr Albiston, "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 joins Hewden from HP Information Security where she was HR director, particularly responsible for employee training and development both in the UK and overseas.

Ms Glover will manage the company's existing human resources team, helping to train and develop the skills of more than 1400 Hewden employees located nationwide.
