Meet the Team

Ross’s journey with Horizon began in his youth, spending summer holidays working in the business. He officially joined full-time in 1994 and was appointed Managing Director in 2015.

Starting his career in the Fabrication department—and even assisting with deliveries—Ross pursued his business degree at Huddersfield University during evening classes. As he progressed through the company, he took on roles in Assembly and Despatch, eventually overseeing all day-to-day operations across the factory floor.

Today, Ross leads the Horizon Group, ensuring the smooth running of operations while actively driving both internal improvements and external business development. Having been part of Horizon for most of his life, Ross is deeply passionate about the company’s continued success and is committed to delivering exceptional products and service to every customer.

Outside of work, Ross is a dedicated Huddersfield Town supporter, enjoys hill walking with his beloved dog Cooper, and values spending quality time with his family.
