The new director brings a wealth of commercial, operational and supply chain experience to PARKD

PARKD Ltd (ASX:PKD) has strengthened its board through the appointment of Robert Martin, who has more than 20 years of experience in the mining services, supply chain and capital market sectors.

The new non-executive director's appointment is effective on March 1, 2019.

With PARKD's rich and growing pipeline of customer inquiries, the company says the appointment will assist its efforts to prioritise and convert these opportunities with a key focus on contract negotiation and assisting with geographic expansion.

Experience will be "invaluable”

PARKD’s managing director Peter McUtchen said: “Rob presents a proven entrepreneurial and commercial skillset that will be invaluable in the rapid growth phase in front of the company and maximising supply chain efficiencies.”

Before joining PARKD’s board of directors Martin operated a highly successful mining services company which became a leading provider of products and services to the mining industry and operated globally with offices across Australia and internationally.

After seven years of growth-on-growth revenue, profitability and expansion into multiple countries, this company was acquired by a prominent Perth business for an undisclosed multi-million dollar sum.

“Looking forward to the opportunity”

Martin said: “PARKD is a fantastic business with its deep pool of talent, innovative technology and developing pipeline.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with Peter and the board to help lead the group through the next stages of its growth cycle.”
