moveero has announced the appointment of Mike Smith to the position of chief operating officer (COO), with immediate effect.
According to a press release:
Smith has served as managing director of moveero’s manufacturing plant at Telford in the UK since 2019. During his tenure, Smith has established Telford as a site with consistent and industry leading customer and production service levels and one of the world’s most efficient off-highway wheel production facilities. Building on this success, Smith is now in a position to take on the role of COO for the company.
In his new role, Smith will report directly to moveero’s CEO, David Geraghty, taking responsibility for the company’s manufacturing, procurement, quality and operations teams across its global locations. Smith will continue to support moveero’s global sales team by ensuring consistent, market leading customer support and being a reliable partner to its customers.
With more than 30 years of experience at the site, Darren Dobson will take over as Telford plant director.
Commenting on the appointments, Geraghty said: “Mike brings a wealth of experience to this role, not only from his work over the last five years, where he has consolidated our position as a world leading manufacturer, but also in a number of previous senior manufacturing and general management roles in the aerospace and automotive sectors.
“We also recently announced the promotions of John Madsen to European commercial director and Gianpietro Brame to global chief engineer. This quartet alone brings more than seven decades of business, customer and market experience to our management team. Promoting from within in this way brings great continuity for our customers, which together with our stability of ownership, means that we are in great shape to meet the challenges of our ever changing market.
“[Smith] will play a key role in our future development, leading our experienced team worldwide and working closely with our customers to make sure we continue to meet their needs. I look forward to continuing to work with [Smith] and the rest of our team over the coming months and years as we drive our business forward and continue our commitment to evolve every day.”
