The Pallet LOOP appoints Merchant Account Manager

The Pallet LOOP

As the number of green LOOP pallets in the construction sector continues to increase week on week, The Pallet LOOP – part of BSW Group – has appointed a Merchant Account Manager. Rob Devonshire joins the business to help onboard merchant branches to The Pallet LOOP and ensure they are making the most of the circular economy scheme, which is helping to reduce pallet waste and provides a PayBack of up to £4 for every green pallet put back in the LOOP.

Rob is a national account specialist who has worked in the merchant sector for many years. Before joining The Pallet LOOP, he was National Buying Group Manager at Vado – a leading British bathroom brassware manufacturer. He has also held roles at Victoria Plum; Geberit; Travis Perkins and Marshalls.

Steve Ottaway, Chief Operating Officer at The Pallet LOOP said: “We are pleased to welcome Rob to the team. Four months on from the roll out of the first LOOP pallets, we’re now getting lots of requests for collections – but there are definitely more of our green pallets out there and we want to really start driving up returns. Doing so will benefit the environment. It will also be hugely advantageous for merchants as well as housebuilding companies and principal contractors, who can make significant waste, carbon and financial savings. In the merchant sector, Rob will be championing our pallet collection service, making sure national and independent merchants – wherever they are in the UK – are driving as much value from The Pallet LOOP service as possible.”

Commenting, Rob said: “I’m really excited to be joining The Pallet LOOP; a truly innovative, forward-thinking company with a unique proposition for tackling what is a huge issue in the construction and material supply sector. I can’t wait to get out and about and start helping our merchant partners as they, and the wider sector, work towards achieving the Government’s ambition of net zero emissions by 2050.”
