EPC Global Solutions, a provider of IT asset disposition services and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSI Leasing, promoted Chris Hodgkins to manager of EPC Europe. Previously serving as EPC Europe’s compliance manager, Hodgkins will now oversee all operations for EPC throughout the region, including facilities in the UK, Slovakia, Germany and Spain, the latter of which is scheduled to open later this year.
During his time as compliance manager, Hodgkins guided EPC UK and EPC Slovakia through the demanding ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certification process, as well as the R2 certification process. In January, he took on the added role of operations manager for EPC UK and assisted in designing EPC’s new enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.
“Chris’s disciplined and structured approach helped our facilities in the UK and Slovakia complete certifications ahead of schedule and under budget while simultaneously helping bolster compliance and internal controls,” Charles Garity, senior vice president and EPC international manager, said. “With his extensive background and proven track record, I am confident he will lead EPC Europe to success.”
Prior to CSI and EPC, Hodgkins spent 15 years at Cadbury where he began his career as an export warehouse operative and rose to warehouse operations manager, overseeing a team of 40 employees. He has also led operations at several international organizations, including Leopold Kostal, Doncasters Bramah and Grunwerg.
With facilities located across the continent, EPC Europe offers solutions for the disposal of electronic assets. Globally, EPC processes 1.6 million assets annually, with 90% of them being resold in the secondary market.
“I am fully committed to leading EPC Europe in driving sustainable initiatives and delivering exceptional ITAD services for a greener future,” Hodgkins said.
