EurotaxGlass’s International has appointed Deven Thakrar, former MD of Lex Auto Logistics, as managing director for UK and Ireland.

His appointment is the latest of several senior management changes at Eurotax-Glass’s since its management buyout last May and is central to the group’s strategy of international growth. Its UK subsidiary generates 40% of its annual turnover.

Thakrar says: “Eurotax-Glass’s is already a market leader in many sectors and yet it is a sleeping giant in terms of potential.

“This is a company with strong and successful foundations, which is now ready to move to the next level.

“Customer focus will be at the heart of everything we do and our aim will continue to be the market leader by reputation and through innovative delivery.”

Thakrar will be based at the firm’s office in Weybridge, Surrey, and report to recently appointed chief operating officer Alastair MacLeod.
