Stewart Mitchell, chief executive officer of Sparrows said: “Adam has been integral to our company over the past twelve years, more recently leading our diversification efforts into the US industrial market. His knowledge of our operations, strong relationships with customers and experience in the markets we operate in has been invaluable as we navigate through the challenging environment faced today.
