New Head of Operations for Process Technology Consultancy

Listen to this article

ALECTIA has appointed Nick Hickman to be the Head of Operations in the UK. He succeeds Richard Crane who, after a 28-year career with PTS and ALECTIA, is retiring to a more leisurely pace of life, but will be involved in the business on a part time, project basis for the time being.

Richard was instrumental in creating a unique culture in the UK company and aligning it with the Danish operations so that the skills and competencies in each location reflect and complement each other. Nick has worked alongside Richard for the last two years strengthening the company’s position as a leading adviser and engineer to the hygienic process industry in Europe and around the world.

Commenting on his appointment, Nick Hickman said: “We all wish Richard well in his retirement and it is richly deserved as his contribution to the business cannot be understated.  ALECTIA is enjoying a strong period of growth worldwide and, with our new structure and strategies, we are very well placed to continue this trajectory. I am very much looking forward to working with all our engineers on an exciting pipeline of projects both here in the UK and further afield.”
