New business development manager

Alex Lee joined the Cromwell Polythene team as a sales executive last year after several years’ experience in the agricultural and I.T. sectors. In his new role as one of Cromwell’s business development managers, he will be responsible for building relationships in the western region of the UK. 

Alex takes over this position from Richard Rowling, who has been a valued member of the Cromwell Polythene team for over ten years and is now retiring. Richard has more than forty years’ experience supplying products to the recycling and waste management industry. 

Alex Lee said: “Richard is a well-recognised figure in the polythene industry and leaves some big shoes to fill. The sharing of his in-depth knowledge and practical experience of the whole supply chain from manufacturing to distribution has been invaluable in my induction to the role. I look forward to continuing his good work and to taking on the challenge of building on his success.”

Richard Rowling said: “I leave my position in safe hands with Alex’s appointment and wish him and the company all the best for the future. I have had an enjoyable and fulfilling career, during which I have seen collection methods change,  the rise of recycling, and continued developments to capture and contain resources, including the collection of food waste over recent years in particular. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone I have worked with and met, and all the valued customers I have built wonderful relationships with over the years.”
