Chairman Tony Middleton, who has been in the post for over six years, retired at the beginning of March after over 40 years' service. Starting his apprenticeship in 1968 at Newburgh's founding site in Bradwell, Derbyshire, Mr Middleton worked in planning, programming, and was made joint managing director with his cousin Vincent Middleton in 1996.
Vincent, who has been with Newburgh since 1985 and has been managing director since 2006, will take Tony's place as chairman. He will be based at the company's Bradwell site, focusing on strategic business activities. He is succeeded by David Greenan.
Mr Greenan remarked: “After spending my whole career at Newburgh I am honoured to become managing director and am looking forward to the challenge. As a company, we'd like to offer our sincerest thanks for all of Tony's hard work – Newburgh would not be what it is today without his valuable contributions.”
Mr Greenan previously held the position of operations director and started his apprenticeship at Newburgh's Bradwell site 38 years ago. This post will now be held by Danny Gibbons, who moves onto the board after three years in engineering sales. Matthew Jewitt also joins the board as sales director. Remaining in their current posts are financial director Chris Gibson and business systems director David Crookes.
