Kenny in at Lavendon
Lutterworth-based Lavendon Group has announced the appointment of Don Kenny as its new chief executive.
Kenny will take up his new position at the company, which supplies rental powered access equipment in Europe and the Middle East, on 1 October 2011.
He joins from Carillion, where he was an executive director since 2006. He was group managing director of Carillion Business Services, the facilities management division of Carillion.
John Standen, chairman of Lavendon, said: "[Kenny] brings with him a wealth of experience of improving operating performance and growing businesses successfully both in the UK and internationally, together with a deep understanding of our industrial end markets.
"He is the ideal candidate to lead the group through the next phase of its development and I am confident that he will deliver significant shareholder value."
Once Kenny is in place John Standen will resume his prior role as non- executive chairman and Jan Astrand will resume his prior role as a non-executive director.
