Van converter CoolKit has announced the appointment of Joe Gleave as operations director.
Gleave will be tasked with implementing the transformation required for the company to achieve its plan of doubling output within three years.

Gleave said: “I’ve always been keen to help businesses grow. And CoolKit, which is already very successful, has huge growth potential.
“I believe with the highly capable staff we have there is a mass amount of optimisation that can be done in the new factory which will result in us being able to satisfy even more customers quickly and more reliably.
“I will be working with the team in the factory so we can ensure it’s optimised to meet and exceed our exciting sales targets.”
