One of Hull’s largest and longest standing companies has undergone a change of leadership.
Arco managing director David Evison has retired, with Guy Bruce taking on the role of chief executive of th esafety specialist. He arrives from Equans, the broad technical, facilities management and energy services operator, having previously worked for building materials distributor SIG Plc.
It comes with the award-winning fifth generation family-owned business recently completing its move into a new £16 million headquarters on the Fruit Market. The company was also at the centre of the PPE response to Covid, with its new £30 million Hull-based national distribution centre put to immediate high volume use, despite well-documented clashes with government over procurement.
