Dan Lee, who has 15 years’ experience at the helm of high-performing asset-based industrial services businesses, has been appointed CEO of Workdry International (“Workdry”), a provider of engineered asset rental solutions for the handling and treatment of water and wastewater.
His appointment follows Workdry’s recent acquisition of Vanderkamp, which brought a leading Dutch pump rental solutions specialist into the Workdry Group alongside its established Selwood and Siltbuster businesses.
Dan said: “I am excited to be joining Workdry International at a time of huge momentum, inheriting a business that is in great shape and embarking on a new phase of domestic and international growth.
“In my time getting to know the business I’ve already been hugely impressed by the Workdry, Selwood, Siltbuster, and Vanderkamp businesses – and particularly by the professionalism, expertise and commitment of their teams.
“Workdry’s success is built on those exceptional people and their commitment to sustainability, innovation and strong partnership with customers, which will be the foundation stones of future growth.
“I am looking forward to working with a dedicated team of colleagues to help deliver the vision and strategy for the coming years as Workdry continues to grow organically and through acquisition to expand on its leading position in asset rental solutions for water and wastewater handling and treatment in the UK and Europe.”
Dan takes the reins from outgoing CEO Richard Brown, who is retiring after almost three decades in various roles at Selwood and Workdry.
Richard said: “Dan has a very strong track record in building a positive and inclusive work environment. He is full of energy, passion and vision, and is ready to lead the business to new heights, focused on delivering growth while supporting our fantastic teams to deliver outstanding service and solutions to our customers. I am in no doubt that the best days for our business lie ahead under his leadership.”
