Veka has made two new appointments to its leadership team.
Jodie Parkinson and Sam Ferguson have joined the business as head of finance and head of operational excellence respectively.
Jodie has experience from various senior financial positions, having worked as financial controller at AluFoldDirect.
Jodie said: “When the opportunity at Veka came up, I knew it was one that I couldn’t let pass me by and it’s been fantastic so far. You can really see the ‘we act, we care’ in action and the quality standards are so high. It aligns perfectly with my own ethos.
“I’ve been around the business and met everyone which is key to what I am trying to achieve here. I want finance to be at the heart of everything we do and really align our department with the rest of the business; having meetings with all the different departments and having that company-wide dialogue is key to raising the profile of the Finance Team and the importance of interdepartmental connectivity. I’m looking forward to add further value to an already fantastic company.”
Sam has held a series of engineering management positions internationally, most recently serving as technical director at Hayward Tyler.
According to Veka, the appointment is a continuation of the company’s commitment to effective business planning and continuity, with Sam’s trajectory set to lead him to the future role of engineering director.
Sam added: “I’m very challenge driven and it was the ambitious nature of this role that was so attractive. The vision Veka had for the role and the career progression align with my own aspirations, so it was a good fit.
“I’ve found it amazing. The reason I joined Veka was that the team values people and are open to new ideas. Everyone has accepted my vision and have been given everything I need to succeed – that openness is very important for me.”
