Des Moore

An experienced senior leader with extensive management expertise across complex, multi-location businesses. Starting my working life as a labourer, I’ve worked my way to CEO level through tenacity, hard work and a willingness to learn. That drive delivered substantial profitable success, most recently across the TRAD group of companies (£100m turnover) during my time as MD and CEO.
