Previous to that, she held a senior role at CAT-UK services, which she joined in 2007.

Filippi said: "I’m excited to be working with Jayne as a fellow female director, it’s a first for me with two women on the board and I am already enjoying getting stuck in."

The third-generation family firm recently celebrated its half-century of trading on 23 March by announcing a £5.5m investment in its transport and warehousing divisions, and predicting a record year of trading.

“With a new transport site now open which is fueling our big expansion plans, the role of finance director is a busy job as we head for a record year of turnover and growth,” Masters added.
