New MD and restructuring at FSL Aerospace
04 September 2015
FSL Aerospace Ltd has announced that Carly Prickett has taken over as managing director from her father Tim Halliday, the founder of the business.
Carly is taking over day-to-day running while Tim steps back and retires, taking the role of chairman and retaining ownership. Tim now feels that the supplier of aerospace fasteners needs the drive of a younger person to build on the strong foundations that have been laid. “I haven’t grown this business on my own. I’ve been the glue in the organisation and I have been surrounded by a fantastic team,” comments Tim. “Carly fills me with an overwhelming level of trust and I see a strength and passion for the business in her. She is the best person for the job and is fully committed to the FSL way of doing things. She will steer the company for the coming decades and beyond, and I have no doubt that she will build on the high growth the company has experienced in recent years.”
Carly added: “I’m very fortunate; I love my job. This is an extremely well-run company and there are no grand plans to change direction. However, this is a time of change so I’ll be carefully managing the transition. I just want to get on with driving the business forward and focusing on continuous improvement to ensure we provide our clients with an even better level of service. I also aim for us to secure SC21 silver.”
Carly and Tim are in the process of completing a full restructure of the company. Working closely with Carly will be Richard Woodward who is promoted to general manager. Richard has been with the company for 27 years and has worked in most functions.
