Long-term Employee Brings Industry Expertise,
Boots-on-the-ground Growth Mindset
BEXHILL ON SEA, England, May 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Lining Division, Ltd. (LDL), a leading UK-based
infrastructure contractor and division of Vortex Companies
(Vortex), today announced the promotion of Paul Brooker to Managing Director. Brooker
brings over three decades of experience in the industry and is
poised to lead LDL into a new period of growth in the high-demand
UK wastewater market.
Brooker will be overseeing all aspects of LDL's business,
ensuring quality work and strategic expansion. Brooker spent the
last nine years as director of operations for the company; during
that time LDL grew from a three-vehicle business to the large
operation it is today.
"When we acquired LDL, maintaining business continuity and local
leadership was critical," said Mike
Vellano, CEO of Vortex. "Not only does Paul have deep roots
at LDL, but he is also well-regarded in the industry, having grown
up in the business working in both operations and management, in
both public and municipal sectors."
Empowering strong local leaders is part of Vortex's business
model, and Brooker has been energized by the resources provided by
the new management. "Vortex's involvement has given us a real
punch," said Brooker. "Our posture in the industry has rocketed,
and through Vortex's available resources, we've been able to expand
our offerings, invest in new equipment and leverage their
expertise."
"I believe that in working his way through the ranks, he's
earned respect from the team and our customers," said Quin Breland,
Managing Director of Vortex Europe. "He is still relatable to the
engineers in the field and is not above getting his hands dirty to
make every project successful."
Water and sewer systems have significant challenges in this
region and Brooker sees Vortex's model as a crucial part of the
solution. "It takes companies like Vortex to support the long-term
objective of renewing the infrastructure here," he added. "I love
challenges like these, where we can be a part of the solution. It's
what keeps me going."
