Non-exec director
Caltech scores with Carnegie signing
Dundee-based Caltech Lifts has appointed former Dundee United Chairman Scott Carnegie as its first non-executive director.
Mr Carnegie’s long career has seen him fulfil multiple executive roles and currently includes the chairmanship of angel investment syndicate London & Scottish Investment Partners and Discovery Investment Fund.
He has joined the family-owned Caltech to provide strategic and management advice to assist with its growth plan.
Speaking about the move, managing director Andrew Renwick said: “We’re delighted to have someone of Scott’s calibre join our board as he brings a wealth of management and strategic experience which we’re sure will greatly benefit our business.
“We felt we needed a businessman with his level of experience on our board to give it a little more corporate structure and to act as a sounding board. We heard very good things about Scott from a broad range of contacts across Scotland, so were gratified when he accepted our invitation.”
Mr Carnegie said: “What I like about Caltech Lifts is the potential growth this well-established family business can enjoy. I bring ‘grey hair’ to the table to help its young management team make the most of the opportunity it has in a growth industry.”
