Russell Roof Tiles has created a new role, corporate sustainability and development director, and has appointed Dan Hancox to fill the position.
Hancox who has been at the firm for 14 years – most recently as business support manager takes on the new position, helping lead and shape RRT’s sustainability strategy which has been central to the business for more than 10 years.
Hancox commented: “It’s an honour to be moving into this new role. I’m looking forward to using this opportunity to drive Russell Roof Tiles towards a more sustainable future.”
In his position as corporate sustainability and development director, Dan will maintain a critical role in promoting sustainable business practices for RRT alongside directing operations for plastic manufacturing and developing resale product opportunities.
This year, Dan and the wider team will be assessing the supply chain, product range and distribution network to understand where they can have a larger influence or impact on their Scope 3 emissions.
With the support of Planet Mark, which is an internationally recognised accreditation that a business can use to report on its carbon footprint and demonstrate progress, Russell Roof Tiles will be able to verify a baseline from known data.
Andrew Hayward, managing director at Russell Roof Tiles, added: “Over the last decade Dan has shown real commitment and dedication to the company and his contribution to the business and the team is second to none.
“Although this is a new position for our company, it’s certainly not a new area of focus for us. The knowledge and experience that he’s already gained puts him in the perfect position to take on the responsibility of our Corporate Sustainability and Development Director and help to strengthen our sustainability goals for the future.”
