STARK UK appoints JPS managing director amidst reorganisation

STARK Building Materials UK (STARK UK) has appointed Fiona Perrin as managing director of Jewson Partnership Solutions (JPS).

Perrin has held a number of senior leadership positions in the industry, including chairman of the Independent Builders Merchant Group in its early days and managing director level roles in HSS Hire.

She will report into John Carter, chief executive officer of STARK UK, joining the UK executive team.

Elsewhere in the business, Neil Grindley will assume responsibility for Normans as national operations director for strategic projects, supporting Martina McGibney as managing director of the Jersey-based business, and chief logistics officer Ranald Forbes will support MBS, which will continue to be led by Fraser Neve as managing director.

CEO for STARK UK, John Carter, said: “To support our growth plans for our specialist businesses, we are bringing the additional expertise and targeted experience needed to accelerate the transformation of JPS, MBS and Normans, so that we are well positioned to deliver the propositions that our customers in these markets need.

“As a result of this reorganisation, our executive director of business development for STARK UK, Mark Esling, will be leaving the business. We thank Mark for his contributions to the company and wish him every success for the future.”
