Natalie Chappell has been promoted onto the Senior Management team of Imexpart Limited as a Director, in recognition of her dedication and commitment to the company. Currently working as personal assistant to the managing director and in a personnel and policy manager role, this new position came as a surprise for Chappell who has been with the company for five years.

Imex managing director, Arthur Pinkney explains: "While Natalie's role will not change significantly, we wanted to acknowledge her dedication, drive and passion, as it is rare to see in someone. She takes on a tremendous amount of work, with keenness and enthusiasm and I know that she will continue to work well with the other directors and managers at the company."

In 2007, Imex was voted 69th in The Sunday Times, Top 100 Best Small Companies to Work For, a significant achievement for the company which was established in 1986 and is reputed to be the leading independent supplier of replacement parts in the UK, operating from seven depots nationwide and employing over 60 staff.
