The UK’s leading road planing company, Jet Plant Hire has strengthened its senior team with the appointment of a new Operations Director as the company continues to grow.
Colin Redmond has joined the board, bringing 22 years of experience in the highways and infrastructure sector, previously working at organisations including Breedon Group plc, one of Jet’s long-standing partners.
The news comes at an exciting time for Jet, which has recently expanded with a new base in Bradford, in addition to Evesham and Newton Abbot. The company also recorded an exceptional customer satisfaction result, with a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 96 when Jet’s customers were independently surveyed. The NPS is a globally recognised measure of customer loyalty and satisfaction.
Colin’s appointment will be a key part of building on Jet’s recent success, as the company focuses on ethics, robust processes and industry-leading safety standards.
