FINANCE TEAM ROLE CHANGES

David Pedley, Financial Accountant for Northern Europe, recently commenced a three month sabbatical from Colart to fulfil his dream to go travelling. We wish him all the very best during this break and look forward to hearing all about his travels!

Since joining Colart in September 2019, David has made a considerable contribution to the Northern European finance team. During these two years, David has delivered consistently across his remit, including coordinating successive clear audits across all Northern Europe entities and playing a pivotal role in setting up inventory reporting within Colart UK following Project Vanilla. When he returns to Colart in October, David will undertake a new role as Corporate Finance Manager based within the Group Finance team in London, reporting to Abi Babbage, Group Finance and Reporting Manager. We know the Northern European team will be sad to see David go, but we feel fortunate to have him joining the Group Finance team!

David’s new role in Group Finance will be integral in further improving the controls, compliance, and financial management and reporting agenda of CIHL and all the corporate business unit cost centres.

Please congratulate David on his new and exciting path for his ongoing development within the Colart Family!

After a hugely successful first year at Colart, we are delighted to announce that Jon Holland will now report directly to Liam O’Sullivan as Group Tax Manager and Treasury Accountant. Jon has contributed productively to both Tax and Treasury agendas for the Colart Group and supporting the wider Group Finance team. His new role is reflective of his substantial professional experience in the area of tax planning and strategy. He will continue to support Ben Hodgson on the Treasury Function.

Congratulations to Jon on this milestone progression within the Group.
