Our mission is to be the natural choice for people and industry as their circular technology solution provider and without Chris’s contributions over the years as Founder and CEO, we wouldn’t be where we are today. We have a fantastic legacy to springboard the next stage of our future growth strategy to build a sustainable business for people and planet”
Genuine is in great hands with Paul and the Management team and I wish them all well for the future.
