Royal Wolf Holdings Limited (Royal Wolf) today announced that Executive General Manager Neil Littlewood has been appointed Chief Operating Officer, a new position within Royal Wolf. Neil previously ran the Australian Customer Service Centres (CSC's) and will continue to report to Robert Allan CEO of Royal Wolf.
"Neil is a leader who consistently delivers results. He is well qualified to drive performance and accountability within Royal Wolf," said CEO, Robert Allan. "The Board and I have confidence in Neil's ability to develop our digital marketing strategies, deliver increased business opportunities within our core competencies and continue to innovate in our container products range."
