The last 12 months have seen us implement a firm structure and develop clear operational regions for optimal cross-contract collaboration. We have seen good contract retention and organic growth. John’s appointment will cement this position and provide us with a platform for growth. John understands this industry and has the mindset and attitude that we want to take Carlisle forward.”
