Accrington-based managed transport and accommodation provider CMAC Group has promoted Peter Slater to the role of chief executive.

He was previously the company's operations and commercial director. In his new role, he will oversee the day-to-day running of all business units and is responsible for leading the development and execution of the organisation's growth strategies.

Steve Turner, founder and director of CMAC, said: "Pete has already demonstrated his wealth of knowledge and has been instrumental to the growth of CMAC since he joined the business 12 years ago. I have full confidence he will continue to drive the business forward and wish him all the best in his new role."

Peter added: "Realigning the roles of myself and Steve will really help to drive the business forward and cement CMAC’s position in the market as the leading ground transportation experts.

"The company has already encountered rapid growth both across the UK and into Europe since its incorporation in 2007 and I’m confident that, with the dedication and enthusiasm of our team, our best days are most definitely ahead of us."

CMAC Group provides round-the-clock planned and emergency ground transport and accommodation solutions.
The firm moves over a million passengers a year, many of which require accommodation before reaching their final destination, on behalf of clients across a wide variety of sectors.
