Laura’s promotion follows the departure of Steve Bell, who is taking up a new management role after 15 years of working alongside Axion.
Laura will take on full responsibility for the technical performance and profitability of the plastic recycling business; she will also be tasked with growing production output and developing new products for the automotive, electricals and durable product sectors.
Continued staff development at Axion
Having previously worked in commercial and sales roles at Axion, Laura’s internal promotion exemplifies the company’s commitment to continued staff development.
