A Duo of Hires accelerates growth plans

We’re proud to announce the strengthening of our senior team with a Duo of key appointments, Martin Henderson Finance Director and Nick Toner Head of Industrial Sales. 

Martin Henderson joins Duo’s board of Directors and brings over 20 years’ commercial experience, underpinned by a chartered accounting background. Nick Toner will be responsible for driving commercial relationships with businesses using industrial packaging solutions for their products. 

Martin commented: “Our customer base and the stakeholders we interact with truly care about sustainability. From the moment I joined Duo, from the more traditional material sectors of lead and steel, I knew they weren’t a typical manufacturer. The energy, drive and openness to change was something I immediately wanted to be part of.  

“The business has developed solid foundations in reducing the impact of packaging on the world we live in. We’re part of an industry that is relatively new, evolving and expanding, and I look forward to building on these foundations with a vision of driving best practice to support our future growth plans.” 

Nick said: “Duo is a business that has led, rather than followed the market when it comes to reducing the environmental impact of its packaging products, bringing innovative solutions to market such as GreenPE. Throughout my career I’ve been aware of Duo and have always admired its innovative and agile business model. In supply to the FMCG market, customers need quick responses and solutions and I’m very confident that Duo will become a key player in the sector. The company’s ambition and energy has been infectious, and I look forward to establishing Duo as the supplier of choice with more FMCG businesses, both in the UK and internationally.” 

Anthony Brimelow, Commercial Director commented: “Welcoming two individuals of Nick and Martin’s professional calibre into the team at Duo is a real coup for the business at an important time. Both appointments will play an essential role in delivering our strategic plan and their knowledge and experience of their respective sectors will prove invaluable in implementing the necessary platforms for our business’ ambitious growth plans.”
