Pallet-Track promotes Sarah Hayes to hr director role

Pallet-Track has promoted Sarah Hayes to the newly created role of hr director, recognising more than 15 years with the business.

Hayes, who joined in 2009 as a part-time hr assistant, will take up the role at the company’s new headquarters at Waterway Business Park in Ettingshall and will report directly to group CEO Stuart Godman.

Her appointment reflects the growing focus on people strategy within the business, with Hayes now responsible for leading colleague-related initiatives and supporting organisational development.

The move follows a period of growth for the Wolverhampton-based pallet network, with Hayes having played a role in the recent hub and headquarters relocation and wider expansion of the business.

Sarah Hayes, hr director at Pallet-Track, said: “When Stuart joined the business, he empowered both me and other leaders, reinforcing the belief that people are our greatest asset.

“We demonstrate this clearly through tangible actions, including the introduction of enhanced colleague benefits.

“I’ve been fortunate to grow alongside the business, developing into my role in a way that suited my personal circumstances. I worked part-time for many years before transitioning to a full-time position as my family commitments changed, allowing me to dedicate more time and focus to the company.

“Over the past 12 months, Pallet-Track has experienced fantastic growth. I was integrally involved with our Hub and HQ relocation and looking back now, nobody could have predicted three years ago that we would be moving into a beautiful new site and significantly increasing headcount.”
