Joining the board and bringing a high degree of knowledge and experience to the organisation, are:

·         Seán Trainor, business development director

·         David Careless, financial director

·         Mark Jones, operations director

Seán Trainor joined Amco from Magna Redditch in January 2015 as a project manager and after three years was promoted to head of commercial & customer engagement in 2017. Trainor's success in customer care and key account management saw him quickly promoted to senior business development manager at the beginning of 2018. Trainor has 17 years in materials and project management, logistics, supply chain management and business development, predominantly within the automotive sector.

Dave Careless joins Amco from Federal-Mogul Motorparts, an international original equipment vehicle component manufacturer and aftermarket suppliers. Careless was previously general manager and head of finance with Mahle, a leading international development partner and supplier to the automotive industry. He has 12 years' experience in senior finance roles within high volume manufacturing.

Mark Jones, who joined Amco in 2016, from Mahle, as head of operations, takes responsibility across Amco for its UK transport and vehicle fleet, driver compliance and health and safety. Jones will manage the group's warehouse operations, IT and systems with the continuing development of warehouse and transport management systems as a key focus. Quality management systems will also fall under Jones' span of control.

Amco's managing director, Don Mucci, comments: "These appointments signify our absolute commitment to aligning our Board's expertise with the company's strategic vision of continuing to develop our logistics offering to further support existing and new customers. Each of these board members has a wealth of knowledge, experience and thought leadership that will be highly valuable as we execute our plans for further growth in the future and as we look to expand our customer base into new sectors'.

Coinciding with the new Board announcement is the news that Amco has implemented a new strategy in terms of its logistics teams and has relocated everyone into Amco Park, its 110,000sqft flagship distribution centre in the UK Midlands. 

Sales director, Paul Andrews, says: "It's fantastic to now have the operations team under one roof. Our teams can work faster and communications are clearer and swifter. Despite working under Covid-19 rules and socially distancing, we have already seen the benefits in the first few weeks in terms of great morale and an uplift in our already strong customer service KPIs. We expect this move to one location, one team, to increase our productivity further and to develop a deeper team culture moving forward."
