    Our Management Board provide the strategic direction for Terberg Environmental, managing budgets, activities and the human and financial resources that span across our subsidiaries and ensure delivery of results in line with the organisation's strategic objectives.

    BOARD MEMBERS

     

    The Terberg Environmental management board is composed of the following members;

    • Tim Conlon: CEO

      Tim studied physics and later gained his MBA. Tim joined the company in 1995 working for Terberg Matec UK and helped transform the business into the market leader it is today supplying an array of bin lift systems and weighing technology to the UK market.

      Today, Tim is responsible for all Terberg Environmental operations globally.

      Tim is very proud that, having started in the late 1980s as a niche manufacturer of bin lifting systems, we are now the number two in Europe in refuse collection vehicles with a strong ambition is to become number one!

      From an employee perspective, Tim appreciates the benefit that the owners are directly involved in the business and not just faceless remote shareholders.

    • Thibaut Robin: COO – AMEA & LATAM and MB Member

      After studying engineering and getting my MBA in 1993 I got an internship at the French embassy in Iran. I looked for sponsors to contribute to my travel costs.

      A manufacturer of refuse collection vehicles and a manufacturer of waste bins were prepared to pay for my trip, in return for market research in major cities in Iran. From then on I was fascinated by the subject. I worked in the waste industry for 20 years, managing subsidiaries on four continents and the production, sale and maintenance of waste bins and containers. In 2014 I joined RosRoca, the European leaders in refuse collection vehicles. This became even more interesting in 2016 when RosRoca merged with Terberg Environmental.

      My responsibilities now include Terberg RosRoca VM, our subsidiary in the Middle East, Terberg Matec Latam in Colombia and market development in South East Asia and North Africa.

    • Pere Petit: COO - Europe and MB Member

      Given the long history of Terberg Environmental, Pere jokes that he is something of a new arrival, having joined the Group in 2016, thanks to the merger with Ros Roca Environment.

      Pere has spent most of his career working for family businesses, so he appreciates and shares the values of the Terberg Group.

      He also enjoys working with many team players from the various countries in which our group has stakeholders and sees the value in the increase in expertise that offers.

      Pere is responsible for our European mainland subsidiaries Ros Roca, Terberg Resitul, Terberg Matec France, Terberg Matec Belgium, Terberg Matec Nederlands, Terberg Machines, Terberg Control Systems, Terberg Automotive, Terberg HS and Terberg Matec Polska.

    • Hans Geerts: Group Finance Director and MB Member 

      Hans joined Terberg in 2006, with a background in auditing and Financial control. He was appointed Financial Group Controller for Royal Terberg Group B.V. with a key responsibility to support acquisitions. Hans soon found that particular responsibility taking quite some time, especially in recent years.

      In 2016, the Royal Terberg Group completed the merger with Ros Roca Environment leading to the establishment of Terberg Environmental as the holding company. From the start of that new company Hans has been a member of the Board of Management, as Finance Director of the Group.

      Hans recalls when he first applied for a job with Terberg;

      "Their no-nonsense approach, entrepreneurial spirit and focus on the long term really appealed to me. I am proud to be part of this team of innovative, hard working people with a drive to keep expanding the business."

      Terberg Environmental finance department, headed up by Hans is based at the offices of Dennis Eagle in Warwick. Immediately following the completion of the merger in 2016 - when Terberg Environmental had been set up as a holding company - the emphasis was mostly on aligning the reporting mechanisms and the businesses.

      These days Hans and his team are is primarily concerned with cash planning, managing the operating capital, corporate financing, compliance and business control and planning.

    The team are collectively responsible for the group's operational and functional divisions or major geographical zones.
