Premier Forest Products promotes CFOO

Premier Forest Products has announced the promotion of chief financial officer (CFO) Neil Davies to chief financial and operating officer (CFOO).

In his expanded role, he will oversee both financial strategy and day-to-day operations, ensuring closer alignment between the company’s financial planning and operational delivery.

His responsibilities will include continued integration and streamlining of processes and systems across the organisation, supporting the execution of strategic initiatives, and enhancing overall business performance.

Co-founder and CEO, Terry Edgell, added: “This is a significant and well-deserved promotion. Neil has made an outstanding contribution since joining the business, and this new role reflects both his impact and our confidence in his ability to lead across finance and operations.

“Bringing these functions together strengthens how we plan, execute, and scale as a business.

“Neil has effectively been operating across both areas since joining the company, but this appointment formally recognises that wider leadership role and gives him the mandate to drive operational activities alongside finance.

“As the business has grown, it has become increasingly important to strengthen the leadership structure across the group.

“As we enter our 34th year of trading, we remain focused on sustained growth and continued investment across the company.”
