Managing Director Philip Owen said, “The business is entering a more demanding phase of growth and in order to develop the opportunities the company set out earlier this year to secure a non-executive chairman. “Kevin Schofield is one of the most respected professionals in our industry, so clearly to have secured his services is a very important outcome for our company.” Kevin added, “The skills and talents within TST are quite exceptional; and I see opportunities to help grow this business substantially in the coming years.
