BaxterStorey hands Mack Allan regional MD role
Hospitality specialist, BaxterStorey, has appointed Mack Allan as its regional managing director for the South West and Wales as it seeks to “strengthen its presence” in the growing region.
BaxterStorey says it already has a “significant” client base in the area, including Burgess Salmon, ONS and Nationwide. Since taking on the new role earlier this year, Mack has already overseen the opening of the company’s new regional office, based in Bristol – a “hub” for Mack and his growing team, as they develop a stronger presence in the region from which to support clients. The announcement of Mack’s appointment was timed to coincide with the launch of the Bristol office which took place within the last week.
Beginning his career as a chef in the armed forces, Mack progressed into management at British Aerospace and landed his first operations manager role covering the wider Bristol area. Mack joined BaxterStorey in 2000 and has progressed through various leadership roles in Reading, London and Scotland.
His last role was regional director for Scotland where he was responsible for supporting his clients and extensive team while developing new opportunities for the business. He now returns to the area where his career first took off.
Mack said: “The South West and Wales is a strong growth area and we have some fantastic clients here. My role is to nurture these relationships and set us up for the next stage in our growth across this thriving region.
“Contract catering has moved on so much since I joined the industry and it is now recognised that businesses like BaxterStorey take pride in providing their clients with high quality, fresh, local and seasonal ingredients.”
He added: “I’m excited about returning to the area and I’m really looking forward to renewing some old acquaintances.”
John Bennett, co-chief executive at BaxterStorey, said: “We’re delighted to appoint Mack as regional managing director with his wealth of experience and strong knowledge of the local area.”
