Tim Tofte has joined Veka Recycling as transport manager, the latest in a series of new appointments at the PVC-U window and door recycling specialist, as the business continues its drive to strengthen operations. Tim has 13 years of experience in road haulage, including as a transport manager for third-party logistics companies, among them Bibby Distribution, Maritime Transport and Wreford Transport, which ran contracts for Coca Cola, Mercedes, Amazon, Carlsberg, Royal Mail, Salvation Army and Wicksteed, to name but a few.
“My immediate role includes the management of yard staff, weighbridge staff, drivers and the transport office, all of which involves effective planning of both time and resources,” said Tim. “In the medium to long term, I’m hoping to grow customer relationships, help set up new customers and manage their expectations within the business.
“I am looking forward to helping identify any areas within transport that may need refining and implementing any changes needed. I’ll also be encouraging the team to take on new challenges and further all of our knowledge and skills, helping improve the processes of both my team and the wider Veka Recycling operations in the process.”
“Since our Wellingborough plant became fully operational, we’ve appointed a new business development manager, quality engineer and yard supervisor, as part of our ongoing commitment to strengthen our operations and be Europe’s most advanced specialist windows recycler,” said Simon Scholes, managing director for Veka Recycling. “We’re delighted to welcome Tim aboard such a strong team, and look forward to what his, and our, future holds.”
