On the move: the latest East Midlands hires

Pinelog, a UK designer and manufacturer of luxury timber lodges and buildings, has welcomed Stephen Hibbert to the team as a buyer.

In his new role, Hibbert will oversee the procurement of thousands of items for the company.

Based at Pinelog’s headquarters and production facility in Chesterfield he will support the company’s ongoing growth and innovation.

He said: “I am very proud to join Pinelog. The lodges are synonymous with quality and use premium products to ensure longevity. As such, it is very much a case of quality over price when it comes to purchasing decisions. It is a hugely challenging but very rewarding role.

“As we’re manufacturing each lodge from raw materials from the ground up to the finished, furnished product ready for installation, there are thousands of items involved in the production of each one. I am very much enjoying the responsibility of ensuring our production team has the products, tools and equipment to complete each lodge on time and to the highest of standards. It’s great to be part of that team.”

Derby-based Link ICT has expanded its team following the appointment of Hugh Burch and Jai Shergill.

Burch is joining as an IT systems administrator having previously been a senior IT technician in a school and an IT infrastructure engineer.

Also joining the company is Jai Shergill who is beginning an apprenticeship as an information communications technician arranged by Althaus.

Burch said: “Following the recent move to Pride Park, now is a great time to join the company. The role spans business and education-based customers, so there is lots of scope to learn and expand my skill base working alongside some good people.”

Shergill said: “I wanted to join Link ICT because it combines aspects of my previous work experience such as customer relations, computer science knowledge, using software and diagnosing problems. I am looking forward to the opportunity to learn more about the IT industry in such a team-focused and supportive work environment.”
