Tenza Technologies appoints new managing director

Tenza Technologies has appointed Tim Palmer to the role of managing director, replacing Andrew Kirk who has left the company to pursue another opportunity.

Tim Palmer has spent his professional life running international businesses with a particular emphasis on manufacturing, making him an ideal candidate to take the helm at Tenza. Tim is a keen advocate of UK manufacturing and is excited at the prospect of running a home grown traditional, yet innovative company such as Tenza Technologies.

’Tenza is something very precious – it is one of the few remaining UK manufacturing companies making great products and employing great people,’ he said. ‘We are one of the largest employers in our part of Suffolk and I feel that by ensuring Tenza’s continued prosperity I may be able to play a part in “bucking the trend” of UK manufacturers moving their production to the Far East. It may be fashionable and there may be some headline cost savings involved, but with good people and best-of-breed products that we have here at Tenza we can guarantee a level of quality and service that other remote production sites can never hope to achieve.’

Tim’s career has seen him working in different cities throughout Europe for the past twenty years, in almost every manufacturing industry, including automotive parts, heating and refrigeration, food, shoes and chemicals. He has even recently been involved in consultancy work for Transport for London and this wealth of experience ensures that he is not easily fazed.

Tim intends to focus on ensuring that Tenza continues to produce and deliver its high quality Tenzalopes, protective and decorative covering film and bespoke laminate solutions ranges to its customers all over the world within the time frames that they require. He is also planning a stream of new products to ensure the company’s continued growth and success.
