Senior Appointment Aids Manufacturer’s Growth Plans
16 Jul 2019
Global fire systems leader, Advanced, has appointed Joe Leiserach to the role of Operations Director to support the business following a period of significant growth.
Employing
around 200 staff, Advanced designs, manufactures and supplies fire alarm
control panels to over 80 countries across the globe from its headquarters in Newcastle.
In
his new role, Joe will work alongside the senior leadership team at Advanced to
deliver on the business’ objectives, uniting teams across the production line,
engineering, planning and facilities, enabling improvements to quality, productivity
and efficiency in order to increase opportunities for growth in both UK and
export markets. Joe joins the North East-based manufacturer from Soil Machine
Dynamics Ltd where he was responsible for the management and delivery of
cutting-edge, bespoke engineering projects.
Advanced
recently relocated its headquarters from four separate sites in Cramlington to
one, 48,000 sq. ft base in Balliol Business Park, Longbenton in order to
satisfy increasing UK and international demand from customers for its active
fire protection products.
Joe
said: “On a personal level joining Advanced at this exciting time for the
organisation is a real privilege. With the support and expertise of the 90 strong,
highly skilled team in Operations, our priority will be to maintain and enhance
the control processes; delivering performance and quality of our life safety
products.
“We’re
tremendously fortunate to now have a state of the art manufacturing facility
from where we conduct our business operations and it’s really important that
this investment is utilised effectively to achieve the best possible quality
and productivity. I look forward to adding real value, building strategic
partnerships and implementing bold strategies to take us to the next level.”
Advanced,
owned by FTSE 100 company Halma PLC, protects some of the world’s most prestigious
and high-profile sites across the globe, from Western Europe’s tallest
building, the Shard to Abu Dhabi International Airport and operates from bases
across the UK, US, India and Dubai.
Pete Browitt, Managing Director at Advanced,
added: “I am delighted to be able to welcome Joe Leiserach to Advanced. Joe
brings to the senior leadership team a raft of experience and strengths in
areas that are key to us as a growing manufacturer and I have already witnessed
the positive influence he is exerting, not only on his team in Operations, but
the entire business. Our new headquarters is a fantastic place to work and is
somewhere that, with Joe on board, we should be able to grow for many years to
come.”
