Cleaning product manufacturer and distributor Robert Scott has appointed a new head of procurement.
Darren Williamson joins the Oldham-based business from safety supplier Arco, where he was product and procurement manager for its cleaning and hygiene and workplace safety categories.

“With almost a decade of experience in cleaning and hygiene procurement, my plan is to continue the great work the team is doing and build on its extensive range of products, as well as looking to add new, innovative products with a particular focus on sustainability and environmental credentials. I’m very much looking forward to helping to take the business forward.”
