New MD for Rhodar as Davy Moves to a more Strategic Role

Rhodar, one of the UK’s leading asbestos abatement companies, has announced the appointment of a new managing director. With effect from 1 September 2008, Andrew Thornber will take on the key management role, in a move from his current position as financial director. Andrew Mill has been promoted from group accountant to the role of financial director for Rhodar.

The move will allow the current MD of Rhodar, Jason Davy, to focus fully on his position as chief executive of Lexia Solutions Group, Rhodar’s parent company. This signals a commitment by the asbestos and environmental solutions specialist to continue strengthening its management team across the group, as the business diversifies and delivers ambitious growth plans over the next three years.

The Lexia Solutions Group also includes Thermac, a specialist equipment manufacturer; Novas, a property reinstatement company; Bagnall UK, a demolition and land remediation specialist; and Life Environmental Services, an environment compliance and risk management solution specialist. The group has seen a 100 per cent growth in the last three years and plans to increase growth further, both organically and through acquisition.

Commenting on his appointment, Andrew Thornber, said: “It is a tremendous privilege to be taking on this role at such an exciting time in Rhodar’s development. We are already one of the largest and most respected companies in the industry, and with a constant commitment to innovation, improved efficiencies and a clearly defined vision, we have every intention of further strengthening our position in the market. Rhodar has more term contracts and service agreements than ever, and the pipeline for the rest of the year looks very positive.”

Jason Davy adds: “Having worked closely with Andrew for the last five years in his role as the financial director of Lexia, I know he is the ideal person to take Rhodar forward and continue to grow our market share and profitability.

“I am very proud to have managed Rhodar over the past 12 years, but it is now time for me to throw my full attention into the strategic plans for development that we have for the Lexia Solutions Group as it continues to grow at a rapid rate.”
