Darren Leigh, Unipart Chief Executive Officer, said: "Unipart has made a commitment to be net zero by 2040 which will require increased leadership and focus, therefore I’m delighted to appoint Andy Pyne as full-time Chief Sustainability Officer. Andy will work across all areas of Unipart delivering synergies, economies of scale, and efficiencies.

"Andy is passionate about the business and Unipart’s people, and creating a culture where everyone can give their best, serving our customers better than anyone else and committing to the safety and wellbeing of all colleagues and protection of the planet for them and all Unipart’s stakeholders."
