Juratek and Bettaparts announce organisational changes

Fras-le owned Juratek and Bettaparts has announced the departure of managing director, Matt Robinson, who has left the business to explore new ventures. He has been succeeded by operations director, Mark Clegg.

The news comes as 12 months have passed since the acquisition of Juratek and Bettaparts by global OE (original equipment) friction supplier, Fras-le.

Robinson joined the brand in 2014 and has been part of two management buy-outs during his tenure. His leadership has been pivotal in the growth of the company, which has seen sales more than double, the acquisition and growth of Bettaparts and a new distribution centre in Northern Ireland being opened.

Clegg has been with the company since 2015 and will take over the position of managing director on Robinson’s exit.

Robinson comments: “After nine and a half exciting years, my time at Juratek has come to an end. I have had the tremendous privilege to work alongside a fantastic group of dedicated people and to steer the business through a challenging period of growth, culminating in the sale to Fras-le in 2023.

“I have full confidence that Mark is the right person to lead the company on the next stage of its journey as part of Fras-Le mobility. I want to offer my best wishes to all colleagues and every success for the future.”

Clegg adds: “It is an honour to take over the managing director role from Matt, whom I have worked closely with over the past nine years and through all the positive changes. Under the new ownership of Fras-le it is exciting to continue the growth of the company with the opportunities that we have in front of us.

Matt’s impact on the business has been monumental and we’d like to wish him all the best for the future.”
