Primed and ready: family business Greyland celebrates new managing director
It has long been said that to run a company really well, those at the helm should be thoroughly familiar with every part of the business. This excellent ethos has been observed at Greyland, whose newly appointed managing director, Alex Dyson, has, over his 11 years with the company, really learned the ropes.
Joining the Cheshire-based cleaning chemicals manufacturer in 2014, Alex worked his way up from the shop floor, via the factory and then transport planning, to IT, human resources, marketing, sales and management. His later, more senior roles, included office manager, commercial manager – and, most recently, commercial director.
Announcing Alex’s appointment, Greyland’s CEO, Richard Dyson, said it was: “A very proud day for the Dyson family”.
But it is not just his family who could see Alex’s potential… Dan Mills, as senior category manager at Bunzl Greenham and a Greyland client, had this to say of Alex some years ago:
“Professional, knowledgeable and aware of the pressures of today's business environment, Alex can always be relied on to turn complex requests around in a short timescale.”
Since 1998, Greyland have been manufacturing and providing industrial chemicals & cleaning products to more than 400 customers all over the UK and on continental Europe. It has long held sustainability at its heart, while being well aware that customers require a range of products that are cost effective and which properly do the job. A champion regarding the responsible use of plastics bearing in mind the damage they can do to our environment, it ensures that all its containers are fully recyclable, with the vast majority containing 51% UK recycled polymer.
