Clarke’s early tasks will be to implement a training programme and an improved sales and marketing strategy. Managing director, Niall Holden, commented: "VDC’s reputation has spread through word of mouth amongst its loyal and committed customer base over the last 15 years. It has grown in a reactive culture based on short lead time demands from customers anxious to get their products. Jo’s remit is to structure the future growth in a far more controlled manner, ensuring that we maintain our service level and ‘can do’ attitude."
