 Tullis Russel, U.K., a producer of paperboards for the cards, covers, and premium packaging markets, this week announced the appointment of Steve Moss as managing director of its Papermakers division based in Markinch Scotland. Russell brings considerable senior experience to the role, having occupied similar positions in other U.K. manufacturing organizations including Mondi Packaging U.K. and the BPI Group. He will report to Group Chief Executive Chris Parr who previously held the same job within the employee-owned company.
Commenting on the appointment, Parr noted that "Steve will be an extremely valuable addition to our established executive team and his experience will help us to drive through and deliver our clear and focused strategy. He is joining us following some of the most challenging times ever faced by the U.K. paper industry and, while there are many more challenges ahead, we face them with a firm idea of where we are going and a strong balance sheet to help us get there."
The company is currently working in partnership with RWE npower renewables who will build and operate a £200 million biomass combined heat and power (CHP) plant at its Markinch mills. This will reduce the company's fossil fuel carbon emissions by around 250,000 metric tpy.
