THE DECISION WILL COME AS A surprise to many and is one that , as Roy explains , has not been easy : “ I ’ ve really enjoyed my time with Deceuninck and can ’ t believe how quickly the last four years have flown . Making the move from my retail background into trade was a fantastic learning experience and was enhanced by the support of great Deceuninck people and of great customers .
“ It ’ s the people I will really miss . However , after more than my fair share of 5am dark commutes from the South East to Wiltshire and spending way too much time away from my family in a hotel , I know the time is now right to regroup , find new opportunities closer to home and focus on that Holy Grail of work-life balance !”
The business will be safely handed over to the experienced hands of current Sales Director , Rob McGlennon , who will become the Interim Managing Director . At Deceuninck for the last 3 years , Rob has been instrumental in contributing to the strategic growth of the brand .
