transport manager, and says she is passionate about customer
service.
Speaking about the new appointments, managing director of Label
Apeel, Stuart Kellock said:

has over 30 years experience, whilst we recognised early on that
Claire will be an asset because of her disciplined approach to work
and her proven managerial skills. We're sure both Derek and Claire
will be the perfect fit for Label Apeel."
