Appointment paves way for Bill Clynes to take reigns as MD of Premex Group.

Donald Fowler has been appointed as managing director of Premex Services, the UK’s largest supplier of medico-legal reports and services.

This appointment has enabled Bill Clynes to take the newly formed role of managing director of Premex Group.

Fowler is set to join Premex in June, after seven years at Bank of Scotland Integrated Finance, most recently as regional director for North England. In this role Fowler was involved in buyouts, acquisitions and exit sales with a combined value of almost £3bn.

Bringing many years of business analysis and leadership experience, Fowler, who will also take a place on the main board of the group, will play a key part in Premex’s plan to become a £100m organisation.

Meanwhile, following a successful 18 months during which the group made a series of high profile acquisitions and company launches, as group managing director, Bill Clynes will lead the overall group's strategy into its next stage of growth.

Fowler said: "I have been hugely impressed by the progress Premex has made over the last three years. I am excited about joining the undoubted market leader and am really looking forward to working with Bill, Simon and the rest of the team as we embark on the next stage of the group growth plan.”

Simon Margolis, chief executive of Premex Group said: "We are delighted to welcome Donald to the Premex Group. This is a strategic appointment which the group board sees as an exciting step that will facilitate the continuing growth of the group. Donald is a high quality individual and his arrival creates the opportunity and time for Bill to bring his talents to all of the constituent companies in the Premex Group in the role as group managing director."

Clynes added: “This appointment is a strong sign of the group’s commitment to growth. Donald has worked with the Premex Group over the last three years, so is ideally placed to drive the business forward. He will continue to build on the excellent work of the senior team, establishing Premex Services with a leading industry reputation. In addition, we can now commit to the next stages of group expansion and identifying synergies to provide maximum customer benefit.”
