Dudley Industries, the British manufacturer of stainless-steel washroom equipment, has announced the appointment of Jim Kirk as its new General Manager. He succeeds Gordon Higham, who has chosen to retire after 14 years with the company.
Jim joined Dudley Industries’ parent company, Rentokil Initial in 2008. Since then, he has performed a variety of roles, mostly in the supply chain and manufacturing functions but, more recently, in business development. He is a member of the Rentokil Initial and Dudley Industries senior management teams, and is a very familiar face to many of the companies’ customers.
Discussing his new role, Jim said: “It has been a pleasure to work with Gordon during his time with the business. He leaves the company in good shape to face the future, and he can be rightly proud of his accomplishments. I and the rest of the team here wish him all the best during his well-earned retirement."
