TWO new company directors have been appointed at Worcestershire based firm Reddiplex Group.

Already well known figures in the industry, Jude Chard has been appointed as director and general manager of Reddiplex Ltd and Pyroplex Ltd, while Teresa Humphries has been appointed as director and general manager of Reddiseals Ltd.

Both have been appointed from within the group, which is based in Droitwich, and has taken the total number of directors on the group from six to eight, with five of them now women.

Mrs Chard started working for Reddiplex Ltd in 1986 on a Youth Training Scheme (YTS) and has accumulated decades of experience and knowledge in production, sales and purchasing.

Mrs Humphries joined Plex Display in 1994 to undertake an administration role and quickly worked up the ranks in a fast-growing business, latterly taking the reins in Reddiseals Ltd.

The appointments of the pair as additional directors are being described as key in helping Reddiplex achieve its goals and take its markets forward.

Mrs Chard said: "I’m delighted to have reached this milestone in my career with Reddiplex Group and it makes my YTS training seem extremely worthwhile.

"The company has always worked hard to develop my skills and experience at every level and they are a truly empowering business to work for."

Mrs Humphries added: "I’m very grateful to Reddiplex Group for seeing my potential and helping me to develop my skills and experience – all those years ago.

"It is refreshing to work for a company that welcomes and nurtures talent, regardless of gender and Reddiplex certainly focuses on choosing the right person for the job, first and foremost."
