Yorkshire-based construction and protective textiles manufacturer, Industrial Textiles and Plastics (ITP) Ltd, is supporting its next phase of growth with the appointment of Martin Green as managing director.

With 24 years in senior roles in construction and associated industries, including successful periods with national and international manufacturers, Martin brings a wealth of experience to the position. He will be overseeing ITP’s strategy to develop its global markets across a diverse product portfolio, which includes sheeting for scaffolding and temporary fencing, acoustic barriers, debris netting, keder sheeting, protective breather membranes and vapour barriers for walls and roofing, and ground barriers for use on contaminated land.

ITP chairman, Richard Menage, said: “We are delighted to have Martin on board. He has outstanding credentials as an innovative thinker across operations, sales and marketing, business management and distribution in both domestic and international markets. He has the strategic agility to drive continued expansion in our core sectors, including construction, environmental protection, petrochemical, marine and offshore.”

Martin said: “I’m very excited to be joining a company which has been at the forefront of technical development and innovation over the past 35 years. ITP’s knowledge base is unrivalled, with senior management that has been hugely influential in advancing flame retardant technologies and advocating certain standards of testing and certification, particularly in relation to fire safety which has become more important than ever with the arrival of the Building Safety Regulator. The company has become a go-to resource for construction companies requiring fully compliant scaffold solutions and a trusted name for architects and contractors requiring fully compliant solutions for high-rise buildings.”

Based in Easingwold, North Yorkshire, ITP supplies projects throughout the UK and has a well-established exports operation selling products worldwide. The company’s factory provides in-house manufacturing of materials including surface coating, finishing and large-format flexographic or digital printing. ITP’s product range has continually expanded to provide hundreds of materials in different sizes, specifications and uses.
