 We are thrilled to announce that Neil Cooke will join the board as Manufacturing Director.

Neil Cooke was appointed to the position of Head of Manufacturing in June 2020 as part of the continued investment in the leadership team and to support Omega’s strategic growth plans. Neil has a wealth of experience in kitchen manufacturing, production, and operations. Since Neil’s appointment, he has worked closely with Alastair England, Omega Operations Director, to successfully lead and transform the manufacturing team, unlocking the capability, capacity, and efficiency of production investments.

Neil said: “Omega has continued to invest in the latest generation of plant and equipment to improve our production capabilities and to create significant new capacity. I am excited to be given the opportunity to lead our fantastic manufacturing team to deliver this capacity to our retail and contract customers while building on our core values of safety, quality and service.

Simon Barber, CEO said: “Neil has delivered significant improvements within manufacturing since he joined Omega and I am delighted to welcome him to the board as manufacturing director. I look forward to working closely with him to continue that great work.”

With the recent launch of [Novus, the all-new handleless kitchen system](https://kbbfocus.com/news/2789-interview-omega-plcs-james-bishton-on-new-brand-novus-feature), and the continued investment in the team and facility, Omega says it is poised for continued growth.
