DRPG has appointed Richard Parmenter to its board of directors 15 years after he started at the company as a technician at the age of 16.
In 2011 Parmenter became head of lighting before moving to production management and then to executive assistant. He is now director of group services, overseeing HR, learning and development, health and safety, sustainability, integrity, internal comms, IT and facilities.
“It’s an amazing opportunity after being with business for so many years,” said Parmenter. “To join the board of directors and be able to work with everyone across the business to help deliver our vision is a privilege. Obviously there have been challenges this year, but the focus of 2020 remains a positive transformation within group services, ensuring we are at the forefront in delivering our cutting-edge strategy, creating an exceptional service, supporting our team and our clients and ensuring their ongoing safety and wellbeing. DRPG is on an incredible journey of growth and I am extremely excited to play an integral part of this company’s future.”
Dale Parmenter, group CEO, added: “Having lived the business since he started at just 16, nobody knows the company and our values as intimately as Richard. He will be an asset to the board to ensure the futureproofing and development of DRPG in its exciting 40th year as well as ensuring the continued integrity of the group throughout our global expansion.”
