Wayne Smith replaces current managing director Jeremy Fish, who leaves Nationwide Platforms at the end of February to become chief executive of Ardent Hire Solutions.
Mr Smith joined the company in May 2016 from Aggreko as corporate strategy director. Before Aggreko, he worked for materials group Lafarge.
Lavendon chief executive Don Kenny said: “The appointment of Wayne provides the UK business with strong leadership and expertise. Wayne has worked closely with the business since joining us last year and has been involved in a number of operational and strategic initiatives. I have no doubt he will make a positive impact on the business and I look forward to working with him in growing and developing the Nationwide Platform brand further.”
