Continued Success for BILLION UK and a Changing of the Guard
Wednesday, 10 November 2021
BILLION UK have just completed finalising their 2021 financial year and have posted one of their best turnover results in the history of the company.
Pete Kirkham – Managing Director stated “We have remained consistently busy throughout the pandemic with some customers also enjoying record sales. We are fortunate to have some fantastic customers here and we thank them for their continued support and loyalty. It's great to have achieved such a positive turnover result, which will help to provide a solid platform for service and spares business in the future, although margins have been very tight due to the immense supply chain and business cost pressures, we are all having to bear”.
2022 will also see another milestone for BILLION UK through the retirement of Pete Kirkham at the end of May following 37 years with the company including 21 years as Managing Director.
Simon Johnson, who joined BILLION UK in 2018 has been appointed as the new Managing Director since 1st October to steer the company in the coming years.
Simon has an in-depth engineering background within the injection moulding industry, which has been his sole occupation during his working life.
Commenting on his new challenge, Simon stated “I feel very privileged to be given the opportunity to undertake the role as Managing Director for BILLION UK. Pete has provided BILLION with many years of valuable service and created fantastic relationships with all our customers. Pete has been a great mentor throughout my time at Billion and I hope to fill the rather large shoes that he wil leave behind. My aim is to carry the business forward in a similar manner to Pete, whilst giving it my own touch and developing it further. I look forward to continue working with the great team we have within BILLION UK and all the fantastic customers we have that support us with their business.”
