challenges, Hurst Plastics is
well on course to maintain its
industry-leading ‘on-time in-full’
record with the appointment of
a new Continuous Improvement
Manager.
Mark Fearn joins Hurst
Plastics in this newly created role
with the goal of improving the
company’s production processes
to ensure greater product
consistency whilst maintaining
a robust supply chain. His
appointment is instrumental in
driving even greater efficiency
and increasing capacity as Hurst
continues its pattern of growth.
Kevin Wheatman, Hurst
Plastics’ Director and General
Manager, explains: “Post-Brexit
currency fluctuations and a
feeling of uncertainty around
Article 50 has had an impact
on supply within our industry
and this has meant that some of
our competitors have let their
customers down. It’s therefore
vital for us to continually
improve our production
processes and increase our
capacity to sustain our year on
year growth and maintain our
OTIF record of above 98.5%.
“We’re delighted to welcome
Mark to the business at such
an exciting time when we are
investing for the future. Mark
is a highly experienced lean
manager and he has been steadily
analysing our processes. He has
already helped the business to
reduce waste, improve efficiency
and achieve even greater
capacity.
