New chief executive for Byotrol

GARY Millar, the chief executive of hygiene products firm Byotrol, has left the company after three years.

In a statement it said he had departed with immediate effect to pursue other interests.

He has been replaced by David Traynor who has been managing director of the Byotrol Consumer Products (BCP) arm since last year and was previously a partner in Whatif, Byotrol’s joint venture partner in BCP.

Last week Daresbury-based Byotrol said it was buying out Whatif’s stake to take full control of the subsidiary.

Chairman Ralph Kugler said: “We are delighted to welcome David as the new chief executive of Byotrol plc. He has an excellent track record of driving product development and sales initiatives in consumer product environments which will help Byotrol achieve its goals. We thank Gary for his valuable contribution and wish him well for the future.”

Mr Millar joined the company in 2010 having previously held senior roles at ICI and was managing director of Foseco Steel UK.
