With 30 years’ of engineering, manufacture and production experience he brings a ‘wealth of skill to the table’. Synergy Grill now has 40 products in their range.

Justin Cadbury, chief executive and chairman of Synergy Grill Technology, said: “As Synergy’s sustainable message continues to make waves across the industry - and more and more customers begin to understand the clear financial gain to be had when investing in award-winning equipment with 59% energy saving levels - demand for our grills has never been as consistent or high.

“This high level of demand is one that we are delighted to be embracing and supporting well, especially since welcoming Craig to the team last month where an impressive 200 grills were built, ready for dispatch. Craig really is an asset to team Synergy and we are confident he will flourish in this role.”

Byrne added: “Joining Synergy Grill Technology truly is a career highlight for me. To be part of such an innovative company that not only has an ambition to grow, but an ambition to encourage an industry-wide change of mind-set - where sustainability and British manufacture are rightly valued - truly is very exciting.

“I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Synergy, and I look forward to helping the brand rise to the inevitably of increased demand as awareness for their products continues to grow.”
