Wigan-based temporary works specialist MGF has promoted Chris Whitworth to its executive board.
Whitworth first worked for MGF in 2010, joining on a six-week work experience placement as a student. On graduating from university, he formally joined the company in 2012 as a management trainee. Since then, he has gained hands-on experience across nearly every area of the business – in the yards, on the wagons, testing and maintaining equipment, the hire desk, depot management, sales, purchasing and operations.
A career highlight has been leading the development of new divisions within the group, including Lifting & Safety, Exports and, most recently, Structural Support.
Managing director Simon Littlewood said: "Chris’s journey is a testament to the opportunities available at MGF for those who are forward-thinking, driven, and committed to making a difference. His promotion is well deserved, and we’re excited to see the impact he’ll continue to make at board level."
