Blue Orange appoints new operations manager

By Tim Aldred

07 Dec 2020

Adlington-based Blue Orange has appointed Tristan Carter as operations manager.

Tristan brings more than 25 years of experience to the role, having begun working in the industry at 17. He joins from Lantec, where he held a similar role, following 12 years at Dabs.

At Blue Orange, he will help manage day-to-day operations as the company aims to double its turnover over the coming years.

The services and supply company works with big name clients such as Nandos as well as many other businesses, schools and colleges. The company was formed 13 years ago and has grown rapidly in recent times - set to hit £5m in turnover this financial year, up around 25 per cent.

Tristan is one of a number of recent appointments, with four more to be announced in the New Year.

He said: "Blue Orange is a company on the rise and I’m looking forward to playing a frontline role in helping develop further success. I see it as the natural next step for me."

David Silous-Holt, managing director, added: "Tristan is ideally placed to help propel the business further forward. 

"He has a wealth of experience and really understands the industry inside out, from resellers to managed services. Ultimately the most important benefit is he really understands the exciting journey we are on, as we continue to grow month-on-month. He can help take us to the next level."
