Cheshire-based Tiger Trailers has appointed Richard Else as manufacturing director.

His track record includes 28 years with Jaguar Land Rover and — more recently — time with McLaren Automotive; his appointment coincides with Tiger Trailers’ imminent relocation to a new £22 million manufacturing facility on the Winsford Industrial Estate.

John Cartwright, joint managing director (www.tigertrailers.co.uk), said: “We’re thrilled that Tiger Trailers has been able to attract an industry professional of the calibre of Richard Else to take the business to the next level.

“We’re excited by the potential of our young business — especially now that Richard is at the helm of our manufacturing activities.”

Mr Else said: “The opportunity to join a such a young, dynamic, family-run business on its exciting journey was simply too good to miss.

“With its ‘state of the art’ manufacturing facility almost complete, the prospects for Tiger Trailers fill everyone at the company with real excitement and passion.”
