Evans Above

Neil Evans, the new Veka MD

Veka has announced that Sales Director Neil Evans has been kicked upstairs as its replacement MD as incumbent Dave Jones departs.

Jones announced his departure some time ago and will leave at the end of December. Evans will work with Jones until then to ensure a smooth transition.

 

 “I am delighted that Neil has accepted the position of MD for Veka plc. His experience coupled with his proven capability give me every faith that he will successfully lead the UK organisation into the future.”

– Andreas Hartleif 

CEO, Veka Group

 

Great again

Evans joined Veka from Velux after 10 years as UK Sales Director and prior to that some years as operations director. He says: “Veka is a great business with huge potential and I am honoured to be leading the business forward in our next phase of growth. Veka Group is a worldwide organisation so I am thrilled to be given this opportunity.  I consider myself fortunate to have a strong leadership team already in place, thanks to Dave’s legacy. I’m looking forward to working with them as we make this great business great again.”

Veka has survived Covid-19 but was forced to make a considerable number of redundancies following the failure of one of its major customers.

Jones says: “Having been part of Veka for the past 26 years, I will miss the business and its people greatly, however I leave knowing the business is in very capable hands.”
