Andrew Wearing has returned to his hometown of Burnley and joined CoolKit as the company's new operations director.

His role will be to oversee the operational team at the refrigerated vehicle specialist, making sure that quality and service sit at the forefront of the team’s strategy and daily focus.

Starting his career in textiles, Andrew has held operational positions since the early 1990s working at board level since 2000. During the last six years, Andrew has been located in Georgia, USA, readying a manufacturing business for sale.

I am looking forward to working with the whole team to grow the business by constantly improving the company’s reputation for innovation, quality and service.”
