Retirement of FD Dan Neville & New Board Members
We are pleased to announce significant changes to our leadership team, including the latest Aldridge Fabrications Director Appointments and the celebration of a major milestone in our company’s history. After an incredible 51 years of dedicated service, Aldridge Fabrications (AF) Ltd. announces the retirement of our long-standing Financial Director, Dan Neville.
Changes to a company board are always significant, but Dan’s departure marks the end of a truly historic era. His commitment, vast experience, and unwavering contribution over more than five decades have played a pivotal role in the success and stability of the business.
A Legacy of 51 Years
Dan’s journey began more than half a century ago when he was asked to join the company by his brother, Dave. This family connection laid the foundation for the strong values that we hold today. When Dave later purchased the company alongside his business partner Fred Jackson and became Managing Director, Dan naturally stepped up to manage the critical day-to-day duties of the accounts office.
Following the company’s major restructure in late 2015, Dan officially took on the title of Financial Director—a position he had effectively been handling with expertise for many years prior. He has been a central figure in our growth, navigating the company through various economic climates and industry changes.
Beyond the numbers, Dan has enjoyed many good times with the team. He is a beloved figure here, and he will be greatly missed by everyone at Aldridge Fabs. We thank him sincerely for his outstanding service and wish him a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement.
New Director Appointments
As we bid a fond farewell to Dan, we must also look to the future to ensure the continued success of the business. To that end, we are pleased to confirm the following Aldridge Fabrications Director Appointments to the board:
Darren Whitehouse has been appointed as the new Financial Director. Darren will be taking over the role directly from Dan, ensuring a smooth transition for our accounts and financial planning.
- Lindy Calver has been appointed as a Company Director. This appointment further strengthens our leadership team, bringing fresh perspectives to the board as we move forward.
Moving Forward
These leadership changes represent a new chapter for the company. While we will miss Dan’s daily presence, we are confident that the new board structure places us in a strong position for the years ahead. We congratulate Darren and Lindy on their new roles and wish them every success as they help steer the company forward.
Thank you to our clients, suppliers, and staff for your continued support.
