Bidding Farewell
After four years at the helm of Deceuninck UK, Managing Director, Roy Frost, announces that he will stepping down at the end of this year.

THE DECISION WILL COME AS A surprise to many and is one that, as Roy explains, has not been easy:“ I’ ve really enjoyed my time with Deceuninck and can’ t believe how quickly the last four years have flown. Making the move from my retail background into trade was a fantastic learning experience and was enhanced by the support of great Deceuninck people and of great customers.
“ It’ s the people I will really miss. However, after more than my fair share of 5am dark commutes from the South East to Wiltshire and spending way too much time away from my family in a hotel, I know the time is now right to regroup, find new opportunities closer to home and focus on that Holy Grail of work-life balance!”
The business will be safely handed over to the experienced hands of current Sales Director, Rob McGlennon, who will become the Interim Managing Director. At Deceuninck for the last 3 years, Rob has been instrumental in contributing to the strategic growth of the brand.
