Glazpart has made two new appointments to its senior management team with Deborah Roberts joining as head of procurement and Chris Mahoney appointed technical sales director.

Deborah started her career in procurement operating as a buyer in the electronics sector before moving to manufacturing where she has headed up procurement departments for companies in the aerospace, medical and automotive sectors. Since 2020, Deborah has operated in the plastic injection moulding sector, leading on procurement and supply chain management.

Deborah commented:

“I’m looking forward to developing and strengthening our procurement function, working closely with both our internal teams and supply partners to build a robust, aligned supply chain that delivers real value and supports the continued growth of the business.”

Wes Ball, Glazpart managing director, commented:

“Deborah brings a wealth of procurement experience across multiple markets and sectors. She also joins our Senior Leadership Team, where her strategic approach will help strengthen our procurement function, develop supplier partnerships and support our wider growth strategy.”

Starting out in process engineering, Chris Mahoney is said to have extensive experience and a ‘formidable’ senior management background in technical and business development in the automotive industry. Since 2018, Chris worked as an operations director for a plating on plastics company.

Chris commented:

“With Glazpart’s world class facilities, expertise and capacity, the company is perfectly placed as a solutions provider that can offer a complete end to end service, from design to tooling to finished product. It’s exciting times for Glazpart and I am looking forward to contributing to its future success.”

Wes added:

“Chris brings extensive technical experience in injection moulding across multiple sectors, together with a strong background in product design and project management. His combination of technical expertise and commercial focus will be a great asset as we continue to support our customers, develop new opportunities and drive innovation.”
