Fibreline appoints new head of finance
West Yorkshire manufacturer Fibreline has appointed Ian Browne as head of finance to support its continued growth.
Ian joins the family-owned business with more than 20 years’ experience in senior finance roles across manufacturing and other fast-moving sectors.
Most recently finance director at events agency First Event, he helped support the company’s growth from a £6 million turnover business to one generating more than £25 million in revenue.
In his new role, Ian will lead Fibreline’s finance team, overseeing financial planning and supporting strategic decision-making as part of the senior leadership team.
Fibreline managing director and owner Richard Prudhoe said: “Headstar provided exceptional support throughout the process, with Ian standing out as the clear choice from a very strong shortlist.
“He brings the perfect blend of strategic expertise, financial acumen and a collaborative approach, and I’m excited about working closely with him to build on Fibreline’s success and deliver the next phase of our growth.”
