UK Container Maintenance Announces Duo of Appointments

Following the exceptional success of recently launched products and services, leading container repair and refurbishment company UK Container Maintenance (UKCM), has bolstered its team with two new recruits.

Vittorio Iuorio joins the Winsford-based firm as Sales Manager, utilising his extensive business development experience and proven track record across several industries to drive new business and develop existing client relationships. Passionate about providing a best-in-class service, Vittorio most recently held a Sales Team Leader role where he managed a team of nine Sales Executives to ensure that individual and team KPIs and revenue targets were achieved on a monthly basis.

Jamie-Lee Ross has been appointed to the position of Purchasing and Production Planner, focusing on raising factory orders and inputting them into the system, scheduling production, monitoring stock levels and purchasing stock against budgets. Jamie-Lee will also work to source new suppliers whilst building relationships with existing ones, support transport planning, assigning deliveries/collections to drivers, sourcing and routing back loads, and working with sub-contractors.

A versatile and approachable supervisor with a wide range of commercial skills acquired across various demanding roles, Jamie-Lee brings a wealth of experience in administration and customer service. Significantly, Jamie-Lee has a strong background in transport and logistics management, developed over several years working with major North West-based manufacturers and retailers.

Emma Elston MBE, UKCM’s CEO commented: “We have recently brought to market several new products and services for which we have seen substantial success so far; to ensure that the high level of customer service that we are well-known for remains at the forefront of the business, we have been on a recruitment drive. It is a pleasure to welcome Jay and Vittorio to the team, who will both be an invaluable addition to the company with their passion, experience and extensive skill set.”

Established in 1998, UKCM, the UK’s largest family-owned container repair and refurbishment company is dedicated to the refurbishment of all types of waste and recycling containers. UKCM works across the country offering waste companies and local authorities’ mobile repairs, as well as factory-based services at its head office located in Winsford, Cheshire.

The process brings old, and often unwanted, waste containers back to life instead of them going to scrap. The business model – refurbishment over replacement - is simple and for a third of the price of replacing a container, UKCM can restore the unit to full working order.
