Andy Williamson previously served as Commercial Director at The Pallet LOOP (part of BSW Group).

The Pallet LOOP, the circular economy pallet provider for the UK construction sector, has today (Monday 21 July) announced the promotion of Andy Williamson to Managing Director.

Williamson joined The Pallet LOOP in February 2024. After six months as a Non-Executive Director he was appointed Director of Business Development with a remit to encourage more material manufacturers to use The Pallet LOOP’s reusable, green pallets – before becoming Commercial Director in November 2024.

Prior to joining The Pallet LOOP, Williamson served as Commercial Director at SIG PLC and held senior leadership roles, including Group Managing Director of IKO Group and board-level positions in a range of construction trade associations.

Williamson said: “I am incredibly excited to step into the Managing Director role at such a pivotal time for The Pallet LOOP. After 12 months in operational mode, and with four material manufacturers now on board, this next phase will see us deepen partnerships across the industry and scale our innovative reuse model to ensure the collection of green LOOP pallets becomes the norm.”

Paul Lewis, Founder and CEO of The Pallet LOOP, said: “Andy’s knowledge of the construction industry and his commercial acumen will help lead The Pallet LOOP into its next chapter. Over the last five years, the team has worked exceptionally hard to bring LOOP to market and demonstrate the environmental and financial value of our approach. The focus now is on driving widespread adoption across UK construction and maximising pallet returns to close the loop on avoidable timber waste, at every stage of the building materials supply chain.”
