• Jones To Step Down As Burnley Boss

Veka UK’s Dave Jones has announced that he will be retiring as MD after 26 years with the company - but he won't be stepping down until the end of December 2020.

This will allowing the firm time to find a replacement to take the helm at the Burnley based PVC-U systems manufacturer. With the announcement coming in early February, steps are already in place to recruit a successor to ensure that there’s a controlled transition at the end of the year.

Jones says: “I’ve enjoyed a fantastic and fulfilling career at Veka Burnley, first as Operations Manager, then Operations Director before spending the last 13 years as Managing Director.

“My working life spans almost 44 years to this point and I feel that now is the right time to step down and hand over the leadership of the business.

 “Whoever takes over from me will find themselves at the head of a dynamic firm which has both a rich heritage and an exciting future.”

Step back

A well known name in fenestration (and in local networks and organisations such as the Burnley Bondholders and Lancashire Ambassadors), Jones won’t be leaving altogether - he will take a step back into a non-executive role.

“Both the global Veka Group and Veka UK have been through many changes over the years and playing a small part in the company’s ongoing success story has been a great honour. I count myself very lucky to have been part of the Veka journey and to have worked with such excellent and dedicated people. I am immensely proud of our achievements together," concludes Jones.
