UK's PRF Composite appoints Dave Ellson as managing director

The expansion has prompted an increase in management structure and expansion of the sales team, and the company has made a number of appointments to support this growth, maintaining the focus on the continuing development of innovative, high quality advanced materials and providing exceptional service to customers, the company said in a press release.

With over 30 years in the advanced materials industry, Ellson has extensive experience in quality assurance, purchasing and sales. After completing over a year as PRF’s head of operations, Ellson has shown leadership and passion for the things that PRF has always stood for: innovation, quality and customer service.

Robert Burnell will remain at PRF as CEO and COB, moving into a development role where he will be leading R&D, product development and innovation, and will also be developing the future growth of the business in terms of infrastructure, investment and finance and working with the senior officers of the company to strengthen the organisation.

“Having known Ellson for over 30 years, I have always had great respect for his knowledge, success and reputation in the industry, working in the leading composites companies. I was extremely pleased with the opportunity for him to join the team in 2020 and he has proven himself to be a great asset to the company. I am confident in his ability to take the reins in this new chapter for PRF,” Burnell said.

“PRF is a family business and I want to build on its solid foundations to grow a company where our people flourish, where focus is on our customers, and health and safety is paramount. I want to create a place of mutual benefit: PRF leading innovation and developing cutting-edge products that help our customers to succeed and for PRF to grow with their success – working in partnership together,” Ellson said.
