Hard-working Lee rises to the top at Trans-Web

Trans-Web, a recognised leader in the design and manufacture of textile lifting and lashing systems and personal protection equipment when working at heights, has appointed Lee Wrigley as a director after 18 years with the business.

Lee, (38), from Heyside, joined the company as a foreman supervisor and gained invaluable experience before transferring to the sales force. He was general manager before being appointed to the board.

Trans-Web products are used widely in a range of industries throughout the UK and abroad. There are 16 employees at the Manchester Street, Oldham, premises.

Lee said: “My aim is to keep Trans-Web at the forefront of the marketplace in the manufacture of webbing products. To do this, we not only have to keep on producing high quality products, we have to maintain the excellent service that our customers have grown used to.

“With the help of the whole team, some of whom have worked for the company as long as I have, I’m sure we can meet these goals.”

In his spare time, Lee likes to keep fit. He is a member of a health club, enjoys gardening and landscaping and plays golf when time allows.

Looking to the future, he said: “My immediate aims include further computerisation of our systems and to make sure that we have a superb website. Websites are often the first contact a customer has with a company, so I feel that this is an important area to get right.

“Being made a director at Trans-web is the icing on the cake after working through the ranks for 18 years and I am looking forward to pushing the company forward to bigger and better things.”

Trans-Web is a member of Resolute Corporate Holdings Ltd. a family-owned holding company that includes Structure-flex Limited in Melton Constable, one of the UK’s most successful manufacturers and suppliers of bulk packaging solutions, vehicle curtains and lifting equipment.
