UK - Just a week before the second anniversary of his arrival at Total Solutions Group (TSG) and Mervyn Thomas is appointed MD of Total Fabrications Ltd (TFL). "If more evidence were needed of the impact this man has had, this is it," said Group chairman Chris Cronin. "He's a great team leader, a superb operations manager; I have every confidence in him."

Thomas was equally enthused, commentin: "This will relieve Chris of the day-to-day running of TFL," he said, "leaving him free to concentrate on what he does best; steering TSG strategically, and addressing the increasingly complex engineering demands placed upon us. So much of our work is now project led, and that's where Chris excels; with enough metal you can engineer your way out of any problem, but Chris creates elegant solutions that are lightweight and efficient."

TFL is the core manufacturing function of the Total Solutions Group, producing the company's extensive range of trussing and other aluminium based products - as well as fabricating all the structural and engineering requirements of their burgeoning stage set operation. "I've already implemented a number of work flow efficiency changes," commented Thomas. "Reducing materials handling has proved popular and frees up my team to focus on production."

"His talents are obvious," concluded Cronin, "it was one of the best days of this company's history when Mervyn came to join us."
