The Pallet Loop, based in Ketteringham, collects, repairs and redistributes timber pallets to contractors, housebuilders and builders’ merchants across the UK.

The firm's ‘closed loop’ system is designed to reduce the number of pallets thrown away after a single use.

It has now announced the appointments of Dan McKane as business development director and Ian Broad as sales director.

Together, they bring a combined 57 years of commercial and manufacturing experience across the UK construction and building materials sectors.

Mr McKane joins the Pallet Loop from the Soprema Group, where he held a senior commercial leadership role working with manufacturing, supply chain and commercial teams.

He is also a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Builders' Merchants.

“The Pallet Loop is playing an increasingly important role in helping the construction industry reduce waste and improve the sustainability of its supply chains," he said.

"I’m excited to be joining at a time when manufacturers are actively looking for practical, commercially viable circular solutions.

"My focus will be on helping partners adopt Loop in a way that supports operational efficiency while delivering measurable environmental benefits.”

Mr Broad joins the Pallet Loop following a 37-year career at Tarmac, where he held a range of senior commercial and leadership roles.

“At Tarmac, I learned the importance of long-term thinking, building strong relationships, maintaining operational discipline and doing the right thing, even when it is not the easiest option," he said.

"Those principles are more relevant than ever, and they strongly align with what the Pallet Loop is setting out to achieve.

"Change only succeeds when it works for everyone involved. My role is to listen, to challenge where necessary, and to help customers understand that reuse is not a burden. It is an opportunity.”
