Mr. Kedgley has spent more than 30 years in manufacturing and engineering-led businesses, developing change management to deliver improved performance. He has developed key strengths in team building, coaching and relationships through roles in both operations and project sales management functions.

With qualifications in mechanical engineering, Mr. Kedgley has been involved for most of his career in the supply of capital equipment to the global processing industry.

“Romaco has a superb portfolio of products, a strong service network, and the recently-completed restructuring process has created a very agile and focused organization which is poised to capitalize on the many opportunities arising from the rapid evolution of the markets it serves. The company is also fortunate to have a great team of people already on board and I look forward to working with them all as Romaco enters a new and exciting chapter,” said Mr. Kedgley.
