VEKA plc has appointed Mark de Meza to the position of Managing Director. Mark, 40, has spent time in a number of key positions in the software, construction and food manufacturing industries. He qualified with KPMG as a chartered accountant so will also take on the role of Financial Director within the company.

Mark's appointment completes the line up of the Veka plc board of directors, which includes Mark Rogers as Sales and Marketing Director, and Dave Jones as Operations Director.

Despite being a keen Manchester City supporter, Mark speaks French and German and has a wife and baby daughter, whose birth coincided with his start at Veka. With Veka emphasising its long term commitment to the UK glazing market with the £10 million investment in a new distribution complex and disposal of the trim business to focus on extrusion capacity, Mark intends to continue strengthening Veka's position to fulfil their target of being the best employer and supplier in the sector:

'A particular emphasis will be given to further development of our customer offering,' said Mark. ‘Veka's commitment to continuous investment in the company's infrastructure and people to ensure market leading customer service is one of the things that attracted me to the position. As part of the new team I intend to build upon that.’
