Airedale Chemical has announced a new appointment to its Board of Directors as the specialist chemical company enters a new and important year for the family-owned business.

Dan joined the company as marketing manager in 2011 moving to head of marketing in 2015 before being appointed to the board. His role will involve the continued development of Airedale encompassing product development, scoping of new market opportunities and initiatives to increase efficiency in the running of the business.

“The Commercial Director role is a new position and will be incredibly important to Airedale Chemical in 2019 and beyond. We head into an important year for the company as we continue our plans to expand into new markets and industries whilst considering possible challenges presented by Brexit.
