Dave Harris has been appointed as commercial director to help drive A-Plant's UK strategy forward.
In his new role, Mr Harris will report directly to A-Plant ceo Sat Dhaiwal and will have a wide range of responsibilities helping drive the UK strategy forward, developing business with A-Plant's major customers and becoming involved in merger and acquisition activity.

Mr Harris has a wealth of experience in the hire industry, having previously held similar roles covering the UK and Ireland. He has also accumulated a great deal of experience in board-level roles in other sectors, as he was formerly managing director of cinema operator UCI Cinemas and managing director of travel agency Going Places.

He said: "I am really excited about my new role at A-Plant. The company operates a number of different divisions, such as A-Plant Accommodation, FLG Services, Leada Acrow, PSS Hire and Eve Trakway, and this role will allow me to work directly alongside the respective leaders of those businesses. It's a great challenge and I'll look forward to adding value where I can and creating additional synergies between the different businesses."

A-Plant ceo Sat Dhaiwal said of Mr Harris' appointment: "We're absolutely delighted that Dave has joined the A-Plant team at such an exciting time. Not only has he got vast experience in the hire industry, he has also held very senior positions at major blue chip companies, so no doubt he will be able to utilise this experience to the benefit of A-Plant."
