ODL Europe has further strengthened its management team with the appointment of Davy Chada as Finance Manager. Davy joined the Bootle-based business in February 2021 as successor to Steve Ellison, who is leaving the company at the end of March 2021. Speaking of the appointment, Nathan Barr, Managing Director at ODL Europe, said: “I am delighted to welcome Davy to ODL Europe. He brings with him a wealth of experience that will be invaluable to the business. I would also like to personally thank Steve for his superb contribution over the past twelve years with ODL, and we all wish him well for the future.”
Having worked with various businesses ranging from owner-managed SMEs to large multi-nationals, Davy brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise that will help support the company’s ambitious growth strategy. Davy said: “I am delighted to have joined ODL Europe at this exciting time. As an ambitious and focussed business with the backing of a large US parent company, ODL Europe is perfectly placed to grow its UK market share over the next few years and I am looking forward to working with the team to help deliver this objective.”
Davy’s appointment is one of several made by ODL Europe in recent months. The company has also made several large-scale investments, including new plant and machinery, a new IT infrastructure and several new core products. Nathan said: “As a business, we focus on being a valuable partner for our customers. These large-scale investments and new management appointments will help us to further support our customers as we continue to grow the business.” And in Davy it has an experienced finance professional who can support the business as it achieves its ambitions.
