Former operations director, Peter Rush, has taken over as managing director of Hozelock.
His first task will be to oversee the planned final phase of the company's relocation of its Aylesbury manufacturing operation to the main Birmingham factory.

Hozelock says that by integrating all its operations under one roof it will see major gains in efficiency, cost-effectiveness, communications and flexibility.

David Codling has relinquished his role as chief executive, but will continue as chairman.
