Meyer Kempf, the recently appointed commercial director at East Central Distribution, is leaving the company three months earlier than expected. He was invited onto East Central’s main board nine months ago as the company was preparing to go through its successful secondary management buyout in preparation for the next stage of its growth plans.
He comments: “I was engaged by the board on a one year fixed term contract with a very specific role and key areas within the business to address. These have now been delivered early and I thank Rob Kay and David Milne for agreeing to release me before the end of my contract. My next, equally exciting, and challenging opportunity has presented itself within the industry and I relish and look forward to tackling it with gusto”.
Rob Kay, East Central’s managing director, adds: “Meyer has assisted us in our plans over the last year which involved engaging and developing a number of key strategic supplier partnerships and, in particular, re-engineering our Telecoms’ Trade Division. Meyer has clearly understood the business and our dealers’ needs and helped us prepare this division get into shape for the next stage of its development. This business is now more focussed, cost effective and delivering increased levels of margin.”
