Cahill, a chartered engineer, takes a primary position at Forgemasters, working with existing management to improve the operational and financial performance of the business, establish growth and further secure the company's future.
“The role of COO is a new position and places Paul as a key figure, working alongside myself, Stephen Hammell and existing management to transform the business and create a stable platform for growth,” says Bond.
Starting out as a student apprentice at Rover Group in 1983, Cahill has more than 30 years’ experience in a range of aerospace and automotive manufacturing and business leadership roles. He joins from Rolls-Royce after 10 years, where his responsibilities were split between managing a group of factories making critical rotating parts, and subsequently leading a successful worldwide programme to transform the operational footprint of the company’s civil aerospace business.
“I’m attracted to Sheffield Forgemasters because it is a truly iconic brand with some very talented and dedicated people, coupled with some globally unique manufacturing capabilities,” says Cahill. “Its importance to our defence industry and global civil nuclear markets makes it a very strategic business in which to work.”
